Fascism On The Fourth | The Coffee Klatch for July 5, 2025
About this episode
Friends,
Happy Fourth of July weekend.
Today Heather and I examine Trump’s newly enacted Big Ugly Bill — its record-breaking redistribution of income upward, its budget-busting deficits, and its creation of an anti-immigrant police state. And we explore whether there’s anything positive that could possibly come of this.
Please pull up a chair, grab a cuppa, take our poll, and join the conversation.
