John discusses how Republicans are coming up with creative ways to swing the next election in their favor. First, he talks about how they are greasing the palms of large corporate donors with EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin moving to repeal the 2009 Endangerment Finding which states that greenhouse gases are a threat to public health. Second, he talks about ICE being the largest (and most funded) secret police in the nation with the goal of locking up as many brown democratic voters as they can. And third, John discusses Democratic lawmakers in Texas who are leaving the state in a last-ditch bid to prevent Republicans from further gerrymandering their congressional map at the request of Trump. If successful, the GOP’s redistricting effort could potentially give the party an additional five seats in the 2026 midterms. Then, he interviews the General President of the Laborers' International Union of North America -Brent Booker on the impacts of Trump's tariffs and Big Bad Budget Bill on job creation and job loss. Then finally, John speaks with author Bridget A. Lyons about her new book "Entwined: Dispatches from the Intersection of Species".
