The Trump administration and the DOGE teenagers are doing everything they can to wreck the US economy, calling it "an adjustment period." What he means is, he expects us to adjust to no longer being free Americans, and it is now up tp us to figure out if we're going to fight back. Our guest today is Michael Sainato, Labor Reporter at The Guardian.

Of all the things we have lost in the last several years, the loss of reliable information may be the thing that affects us the most. Right wing media is so dominant today that legacy media of all kinds is simply quitting on us and bending the knee rather than tell us true things that powerful people may not like. Everyone feels the pressure, and most can't stand up to it. So we get what we have, an information desert covered up by popular lies. We discuss this and more with Molly Weston Williamson of The Center for American Progress and Michale Tharp of the Communications Workers of America (CWA)

Americans aren't very happy with Democrats today, and frankly, they have good reason. After Democratic Senators helped Trump pass a CR to avoid a government shutdown, their constituents are calling for heads to roll. And Chuck Schumer, the minority leader in the Senate, is the first head they want. We discuss this and more with Brent Booker of LiUNA, and Craig Harrington of Media Matters.

Well, it looks like Chuck Schumer has gone and done something no one thought possible - he's stealing headlines from Trump. And all it took was complete subservience to the GOP thieves stealing our futures. We discuss this and more with Phil Glover of AFGE and Dave Madland of The Center for American Progress.

Trump and his kind are taking a wrecking ball to the US economy. The market is dropping by huge numbers each day, and the response from this administration is to fire lifelong public servants by the tens of thousands, and pretend the loss of these family sustaining jobs will have no effect on the larger economy. They're wrong; they don't care that they're wrong, and just like in every other recession the GOP has caused, working families are going to have to pay for it all. Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and Alex Lawson of Social Security Works are our guests.

During the campaign, Trump and every GOP member running for office swore up and down that the GOP had no plans to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They lied, and it is nothing new. They lie about these things in every election, and in every election ,they never seem to have to pay a price for their lies, current or past. We discuss this and more with Economics Professor Matias Vernengo and Kieran Cuadras from the Communications Workers of America (WFWU-CWA)

It's only been a few weeks, but our American freedoms are taking a beating, and if we're going to get out of this, we're going to need something from Democrats that has been lacking for the last half-century or so ... leadership. Our guests today are Scott Paul from The Alliance for American Manufacturing and Lori Wallach of The Economic Liberties Project.

As workers all over the country wait to be fired from their jobs, Trump has decided that it would be a great idea to remove collective bargaining rights from 50,000 union TSA workers, many of whom probably voted for him and will not understand how they voted away their own futures. But such is life in the Trump chaos bubble that we all now live in. To help us work through some of the crazy, we're joined by Arthur Stamoulis of the Citizens Trade Campaign, and Sarah Burris of Raw Story.

To tariff or not to tariff - that is the question. Trump, upon learning just how destructive his tariffs will be, is now "pausing" them as markets crash and prices skyrocket. It's typical Trump chaos, and it isn't going to stop anytime soon. We discuss this and more with Katie Harris of The Bluegreen Alliance and Will Rice of Americans for Tax Fairness.

Trump's speech to Congress was a firehose of lies ... so of course it polled well. And Democrats chose a silly and disjointed response to it that left most of non-fascist America scratching our heads. We discuss this and more with Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing and Professor Ken Mash.
