On the radio show this week, we have a powerful health care takeover – and hear from experts, advocates, and leaders about the attacks on health care that are happening right now despite the fact that everyone gets sick, and everyone needs a chance to get better. The situation is an emergency: Trump's proposed budget plans to cut billions from Americans' health care to supersize spending on the military at a time when health care premiums are skyrocketing and 15 million Americans already risk losing health care coverage completely. On the show this week, we find out what you can do to help protect (and expand) health care access. *Special guests include: Adam Hoyer, Protect Our Care, @ProtectOurCare; Natalie Kean, Justice in Aging, @KeanNatalie; Reggie Hubbard, Active Peace LLC, @oreggieglobal; Donna Norton, MomsRising, @MomsRising @MamásConPoder

On the radio show this week, we dive into the dangerous voter suppression that would happen with the SAVE Act, and how sharing our stories with members of Congress can protect our democracy. We hear about the horrific conditions for children detained in Dilley, Texas and the urgent movement to close family detention facilities and to free detained kids. We cover why marching matters—from the massive "No Kings" actions to everyday civic engagement—and how Trump's out-of-touch child care comments ignore the nationwide affordability crisis facing families. We also discuss America's aging and failing water infrastructure and what we must do at every level of government to ensure safe, clean water for all; plus, how climate change is driving flooding, drought, and water contamination.

SPECIAL GUESTS: U.S. Representative Luz Rivas, Democratic Women's Caucus, @RepLuzRivas, @DemWomenCaucus, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social; Alida Garcia, Director, Care Can't Wait Action; Lauren Hipp, MomsRising & MamásConPoder, @MomsRising, @MamasConPoder, @momsrising.org, @mamasconpoder.org; Radhika Fox, Principal @ North Star Strategy
