Happy Labor Day! Maggie takes a sharp look at the controversial “Big Brutal Bill” and its sweeping consequences for American workers. She’s joined by Jon Shelton of UW–Green Bay and Aurelia Glass from the Center for American Progress to unpack how the legislation guts Medicaid, food assistance, and labor protections—all while enriching billionaires. The Trump administration’s relentless attacks on unions and worker rights highlights the growing wealth gap and the unraveling of America’s social contract.
