On today's 'BradCast': New York Attorney General Letitia James says she is prepared to seize Donald Trump's assets in the state, including buildings, if he fails to pay more than $400 million in fines from Judge Engoron's civil judgment ruling clawing back Trump's ill-gotten gains from many years of bank, tax and insurance fraud. President Joe Biden used executive authority to forgive another $1.2 billion in student loan debt, bringing the total to nearly 4 million Americans who have seen some or all of their student debt wiped out. In Florida, a new state law passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature is poised to literally wipe out most local public sector unions. RICH TEMPLIN of Florida's AFL-CIO explains the sneaky structure of the new anti-labor law that will swiftly dismantle public sector unions and their efforts to fight it, how it was crafted by out-of-state rightwing groups to promote far-right Gov. Ron DeSantis' presidential campaign, and how voters can help to turn things around in the state after years of rightwing autocracy.
