Description

On today's 'BradCast': It's Day 2 of the federal government shutdown, as Congressional Democrats go the mat to prevent an explosion of healthcare costs for tens of millions of Americans. Donald Trump vowed to use the shutdown as cover for illegal mass firings of federal workers and dismantle what he called 'Democrat' agencies. In a lively conversation, BOBBY KOGAN of the Center for American Progress, a former senior adviser in the Biden-Harris White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB), explains the stakes of the government shutdown, how we got here, the Trump Administration's blatantly illegal actions, why this is the right fight for Democrats to hold the line, and much more. Federal agents carried out an extremely violent raid in Chicago, terrorizing residents. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'
