Maggie spends this hour unpacking the Republican budget plan's impact, labeling it a middle-class heist that guts essential services like SNAP and Medicaid. With Citizens United and unchecked billionaires, the balance tilts further from Main Street to mega-corporations. Richard Trent, Executive Director at Main Street Alliance, highlights Trump's chaotic tariffs battering small businesses, favoring giants like Amazon. It's a grim outlook: small business bankruptcies loom, while Congress slashes Medicaid and food assistance. The GOP's tax cuts benefit the ultra-rich, leaving working families stranded. Voice your dissent. Maggie exposes a system rigged for the wealthy, demanding urgent action.
