I wish you wouldn't center Trump in every headline of the podcast. Look at the last month's headlines, it's all his anger and rage. There must be a way to frame the narrative to stop giving him the limelight he wants. It's incredibly discouraging....have we learned nothing since 2016?

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

The Senate is currently debating over Trump’s Tax Scam before moving to vote-a-rama and a final vote. We need GOP senators’ phones to be ringing off the hooks: indivisible.org/resource/cal... And when their voicemails fill up, use this tool to send an email: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-cutt...
TRUMP'S TAX SCAM IS A DISASTER
SENATE REPUBLICANS' RECONCILIATION BILL:

Forces nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid, the largest cut to the life-saving program ever by a factor of FOUR

Gives ICE a larger budget than many militaries around the world

Strips healthcare away from 5% of Americans

Kicks 11.8 million people off SNAP benefits

Not only cuts funding for green energy but actually taxes it, threatening to balloon energy costs and eliminate hundreds of thousands of jobs

Represents the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in US history

Jon Favreau on Twitter: “Shocking how bad this bill is:
- 17 million would lose health care 
- 30% higher electricity costs 
- Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed 
- Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans 
- $4 trillion in deficits 
- $1 trillion in tax cuts for millionaires & billionaires 
People should be on the phones, in the streets, and telling everyone who'll listen”
