Guests: Chef Gregory Leon, Lily Roberts

Maggie and Chef Gregory Leon, Owner of Amilinda, start today's show with takedown of Trump’s “No Tax on Tips” proposal cuts through the spin to expose what’s really at stake. Policy expert Lily Roberts from Center For American Progress, also unpacks how the plan dangles a temporary, tiny break for tipped workers—while keeping payroll taxes intact and ignoring the majority of low-wage earners. Behind the flashy promise lies a harsh reality: permanent cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and other vital safety nets. Maggie digs deep into the broken, exploitative tipping system and demands a shift toward real economic justice—starting with a livable wage and honest policy that serves workers, not headlines.
