Thom welcomes Amit Narang, Regulatory Policy Advocate with Public Citizen on Trump's accelerating destruction of environmental law and the EPA, including the rollback of fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks. Is Trump cynically using the pandemic as cover to gift his corporate buddies everything they ever wanted?
And, unlike every other developed country which are supporting their citizens with monthly checks, Trump and the Republicans have said they will not be paying out anything beyond the $1200 check. How far will that $1200 go for the average person?
Mark Pocan, Progressive leader in the House of Representatives, joins Thom to answer caller questions on the implications of the stimulus passed in the CARE act, and what more Progressive Democrats are hoping to achieve to help people in need in the coming days- and what the Republican majority Senate will likely refuse to pass.
