Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes joins Maggie for "Broad Appeal." Obviously, he's not a woman, but he does have a story about a female federal employee fired under a DOGE directive. As Mandela says, these are real people with real stories in an unstable situation. You can watch the entire interview at https://www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/pawn-in-a-billionaires-game-a-federal. Maggie and Mandela also discuss a possible government shutdown. Mandela believes in good faith negotiations. He doesn't believe the GOP is currently acting in good faith though. If he were representing WI in the US Senate, Mandela would not vote for the GOP budget plan. He encourages us to dig deep and give everything that's happening as much attention as we would in a presidential election!
