In this hour, Maggie welcomes Commander Greg Palo and Al Labelle from Disabled American Veterans Wisconsin to discuss their mission supporting disabled veterans. They delve into the often-complicated process of securing veteran benefits and how DAV helps bridge the gap with critical services and advocacy. Maggie also breaks down the political upheaval surrounding the latest budget reconciliation bill. She critiques proposed cuts to VA services and controversial amendments impacting everything from Medicaid to gun silencers. She exposes the deliberate pressure placed on federal employees and the broader human costs of these policy decisions—ultimately calling for empathy, accountability, and unity in the face of political dysfunction.
