The Oligarchy's Big, Beautiful Looting Spree

This week, the McElwee family returns to the belly of the beast - domestic politics - to rip apart Trump’s $4.5 trillion “budget” bill, aka oligarchic looting plan. We break down what’s in the bill, how it’s quietly murdering people with paperwork and poverty, and a truly massive expansion of fascist border law enforcement.

Meanwhile, the genocide rages on in Gaza, two Israeli consulate employees are shot in DC, and the ADL blames it on our favorite Twitch streamer.

Also in this episode: Ms. Rachel inspired Meg to speak out more loudly for Palestine, and should inspire you too! Columbia’s president gets drowned out during her commencement address. (Free Mahmoud!) And the U.S. empire continues to kneecap its own soft power by going after Harvard’s international students.

This one’s packed. Listen in, leave us a comment, call your senator (you can do it after 5pm, introverts), and if you’re able, support us at TheLeftUnsaid.net. No paywalls, no ads, just one semi-functional family trying to tell the truth.
