Guests: Mike Clemens, William Parke Sutherland

In this hour, Maggie unpacks the real-world consequences of the Republican-led “big brutal bill” with guest William Parke-Sutherland from Kids Forward. Together, they expose the false zero-sum narrative in public policy—the idea that helping marginalized communities somehow hurts others. Parke-Sutherland warns that proposed Medicaid cuts won’t save money—they’ll raise costs for everyone in Wisconsin through higher premiums and reduced services. Meanwhile, the surreal feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump escalates, with Musk teasing the release of damaging photos. Maggie warns us to keeps the focus on the MAGA regime’s policies and their lasting harm to working families and the middle class.
