Trump abandons Americans in Puerto Rico, Healthcare for all, and Trump's dust up with the NFL.
STATEWIDE - We welcome Acción Ciudadana organizer Luz Sosa to discuss the disgusting and immoral abandonment by the Trump administration of Americans in Puerto Rico, Vieques and other U.S. territories following last week’s devastating (climate change induced) hurricane. Luz also tells us what members are doing to help.
We review this week’s implosion of TrumpCare 3.0 and talk with Healthcare for All Organizing Cooperative member Christine Rahlf about how members organized against this week's threat and are preparing to fight against future repeal efforts.
We also discuss Trump’s big dust up with NFL players and owners and what it says about the status of the First Amendment in conservative ideology.
