In this episode of The Legal Lens Podcast, host Angela Reddock-Wright welcomes returning guest Congresswoman Linda Sánchez, a seasoned leader in the U.S. House of Representatives with over 22 years of experience. Representing California’s 38th district, Sánchez delivers a candid breakdown of what’s happening on Capitol Hill—from the alarming implications of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” to constitutional overreach, healthcare cuts, tariffs and trade chaos, and the impact of people power and holding our legislators accountable.
Congresswoman Sánchez unpacks how millions of Americans risk losing Medicaid, how federal funds for disaster recovery in California are being politically weaponized, and how the legislative branch is fighting to reclaim its constitutional role in the balance of power.
This episode also touches on her bipartisan bill to improve early detection of Alzheimer’s, an issue close to her heart after losing both parents to the disease.
Key Topics Covered:
✅ Constitutional power grabs and Congressional oversight
✅ Cuts to Medicaid and their devastating impact on working-class families
✅ The truth behind the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and its effect on healthcare, education, and the federal debt ceiling
✅ The economic consequences of chaotic trade policy and federal tariffs
✅ Early Alzheimer's detection and why it matters to public health and our aging population
