The MAGA Murder Bill and Defending Healthcare
In this first hour, Maggie unpacks the devastating implications of the so-called "MAGA Murder Bill" with guests Rep. Renuka Mayadev and Tanya Atkinson, President of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin. This hour explores how the bill threatens to dismantle healthcare access across Wisconsin—through Planned Parenthood defunding and deep Medicaid cuts—endangering maternal and infant health in particular. Rep. Mayadev outlines her bold self-help legislation designed to counteract Trump-era federal overreach by hitting it financially. Atkinson emphasizes the essential, often life-saving services Planned Parenthood provides, especially in rural communities. As the threat of a nationwide abortion ban looms, the conversation becomes a powerful rallying cry to resist political control over deeply personal healthcare decisions.

Unmasking the System
Maggie begins this hour by tackling the controversial deportation of Abrego Garcia and exposes the lies from the Trump administration while highlighting broader implications for due process rights. She criticizes the influence of profit motives in local government decisions, such as Oneida County's timber plan, and shines a light on Milwaukee's lead crisis. Maggie also emphasizes the need for truth in government, introducing a new segment to call out political deceit. She also discusses women's reproductive rights with Tanya Atkinson, President of Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin. Maggie and Tanya focus on two pivotal cases before the Wisconsin Supreme Court that could redefine bodily autonomy in the state.

Taking Nothing for Granted (Hour 2)
This hour’s guests each have reason to not be pessimistic about politics right now, but that’s no reason to put their guard down. Gov. Tony Evers’ veto pen and this week’s state Supreme Court win mean the most extreme conservative proposals won’t be enacted—though it’s not like Republicans won’t stop trying to remove women’s healthcare rights, enact anti-trans laws, and pass tax cuts for the very wealthy.

Still Lying About Women (Hour 2)
Eric Hovde did it in Friday night’s debate. Donald Trump keeps doing it on the campaign trail along with many other Republicans. They can’t stop lying about abortion rights and the conditions that actually occur during pregnancy that require a full slate of care options not dictated by political ideology or whims. We’re joined by Tanya Atkinson of Planned Parenthood Action of Wisconsin. And reporter Salina Heller talked to Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) about the importance of early voting—especially with early in-person voting starting Tuesday in Wisconsin.
