Holding The 119th Congress Accountable (Hour 2)
At the last minute, Mike Johnson was reelected as Speaker of the House, and the 119th Congress has entered session. To discuss what lies ahead, Maggie is joined by Laura Rodriguez, the Vice President of Government Affairs at the Center for American Progress Action Fund. President-elect Trump ran on bringing down prices for the average American, but a disproportionate amount of his cabinet members are millionaires and billionaires. Maggie and Laura talk through what a new round of Trump tax cuts could look like.
At the bottom of the hour, Dom Salvia returns to the show for another edition of In Case You Missed It. He and Maggie listen back to a conversation they had on the day of the insurrection in 2021.
