Republicans are gearing up to cut Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid--and using a pretty pathetic strategy to distract you from it. Brian interviews Senator Bernie Sanders about how to protect Social Security, his response to Republican fearmongering about the “army of 87,000 IRS agents,” and how to get the government to keep prescription drug prices down. And Congresswoman Katie Porter joins to discuss her decision to run for the US Senate, her response to calls for George Santos to resign, and whether there’s a way for a few Republicans to join with Democrats to raise the debt ceiling and avoid default.
