The Big Ugly Bill squeaked into law last week and we are still unpacking all of the ugly stuff buried in it. It’s not just what is in this massive package of benefits for the rich but the timing of the pieces. With the healthcare and nutrition cuts timed to start after the midterms and the much touted no taxes on tips and overtime timed to end after the next Presidential one. Oddly none of the breaks for the super wealthy start later or ever end. Fred dives into the madness in D.C. from RFK’s Jr.s lies about vaccines and autism to how the Republicans are playing hide the ball on their plans. He’s joined by the brilliant junior Senator from Delaware Lisa Blunt Rochester to discuss how she is fighting back and what is ahead for Democrats. LBR as she is known was just elected to the Senate this past year after serving as Delaware’s one member of Congress since 2017 after a lifetime of public service in government and nonprofit work. Don’t miss this great conversation.
