We begin our show talking about a ballot initiative that would curtail dark money spending in Michigan then discuss how the Big BS Bill is going to put Michigan's budget into a multi-billion dollar shortfall.
We look at the Trump administration's recent executive order targeting the houseless and its aim to eschew housing first approaches for the revival of institutionalization.
The people of Gaza are starving at the hands of the Israeli government- one of Michigan's senators voted to continue the carnage while the other skipped town to go on a talk show instead. We look at how Elissa Slotkin is representative of the centrist pivot on Gaza- verbal condemnations but no concrete action.
We talk about the normalization of fascism through corporate pandering to the far-right, their platforming on Jubilee, and Nazi dog-whistles coming from the White House.
We close the show talking about some celebrity deaths and their legacies.
