Maggie is joined by economic policy expert Bharat Ramamurti to unpack the far-reaching consequences of Trump’s reckless tariff agenda. With no clear strategic goals, these tariffs are creating widespread uncertainty for businesses, driving up costs, and stalling investment in American manufacturing. As inflationary pressures mount, the conversation turns to the “big brutal bill” slashing Medicaid to fund tax breaks for the wealthy—deepening deficits and threatening coverage for millions. Maggie also issues a stark warning about the rising militarization of domestic protests, particularly in Los Angeles, urging nonviolent resistance and civic solidarity in the face of growing authoritarianism.
