Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for September 1, 2025.

On this Labor Day 2025, Pat Johnston reviews how the Trump Regime has enacted the most anti-worker, anti-union, pro-corporate greed and corruption agenda in recent memory. 

Whether it's the insane tariff scheme, the gutting of the National Labor Relations Board, or the MAGA Murder Budget, Dear Leader Trump's "economics" is hurting workers across the country, and especially in Michigan.

Please, subscribe to the podcast, download each episode, and give it a good review if you can!

Left of Lansing is now on YouTube as well!
