With over 42 million Americans, including vulnerable children and seniors, relying on these benefits, the stakes are existential. Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul and Kyle Ross from the Center for American Progress expose the administration's cynical political ploys, while federal courts deliberate on emergency funding.

Maggie dives into the chaos surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Republican inaction. While the GOP blames the ACA, they offer no viable replacement, leaving families like Rachel LaCasse-Ford's facing skyrocketing premiums.
