Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild discuss the GOP's internal chaos over the budget reconciliation bill, highlighting divisions among Republicans like Ron Johnson and Josh Hawley. They also examine the potential impact of cuts to Medicaid and social security, emphasizing public opposition to these measures. Plus, they look at the influence of corporate interests on media while highlighting CBS's recent controversies. The discussion shifts to Trump's attempts to broker peace with Russia—a move criticized as appeasement—and ends with a look at the Wisconsin GOP's struggle to find a post-Trump identity, as Ron Johnson admits they can't win without him, and Derek Van Orden calls for canceling spring elections.

Remember...you can tell Wisconsin representatives how you feel about Medicaid and social security cuts:

Sen. Ron Johnson

Rep. Derrick Van Orden

Rep. Tom Tiffany

Rep. Tony Wied
