The Bulwark Podcast - Ruben Gallego and Zerlina Maxwell: Make Them Own It

Republicans are aiming to gut Medicaid to pay for trillions in tax cuts for the richest of Americans, and they're trying to hide it. The Dems need to bring the DC conversation home—hold town halls everywhere, tell voters what would happen, especially in rural MAGA areas where hospitals and trauma centers will close. Meanwhile, Trump is turning chaos at the border into chaos in the streets by having ICE grab people who haven't even committed crimes to pump up his deportation numbers. Plus, Elon's insatiable and scandalous quest for more money, the Dems' evolving media strategy, and how to help maintain mental health during these stressful times. 

Sen. Ruben Gallego and Zerlina Maxwell join Tim Miller.

1A - ICYMI: Bird Flu Has Spread To Cows In Arizona And Nevada

Avian influenza has killed millions of birds and caused egg prices to soar since it first emerged in U.S. poultry in 2022.

The virus has since jumped to other mammals, including people.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed 973 dairy herds infected with bird flu as of Feb. 21. And 70 cases among people in the U.S. since March of last year.

Cases of the avian flu, or H5N1, in dairy cows in Nevada and Arizona have scientists rethinking how the virus spreads.

We discuss the latest data on the strain detected in cows and how it might affect mitigation efforts.
