Nothing says Happy 249th Birthday, America quite like kicking millions off their healthcare while giving tax breaks to billionaires. This week, Sue, Jas, and Jenn discuss the aftermath of the big ugly/stupid/bulls*t/betrayal bill and when we can expect to see its real impact. Spoiler alert, the most detrimental provisions go into effect exactly a month after the lawmakers who voted for it humbly ask their constituents to send them back to Washington. But before the sharpie ink dried on the big horrible bill, the headlines were dominated by another disaster, another scandal, and another miscarriage of justice. Thank goodness we have some of the most unbiased, skilled, and competent leaders ready to protect and defend our national interests… oh wait…
