Tomorrow, the US House of Representatives is set to vote on the dangerous
legislation known as Trumpcare that could leave millions of Americans without
access to health care. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) found
that 24 million people would lose health insurance within 10 years under the
bill, and the legislation would specifically block people with Medicaid
coverage from accessing preventive health care at Planned Parenthood health
centers -- including birth control, cancer screenings, and STD testing and
treatment. Joining me today to talk all
about the impact that impact that Trumpcare can have on the millions of patients
that depend on the women’s health provider each year is Dawn Laguens,
executive vice president and chief brand officer of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the Electoral College, many Democrats
began asking themselves why the white working-class turned their backs on the
Party and helped hand victory to a billionaire con man whose policies work
directly against their own interests.
And while many, if not most, of those in The Resistance of the
Democratic base remain furious at these voters, the party’s political class and
the liberal media Establishment are making a concerted effort to convert that
rage into empathy for these people; but is this really the best thing for
Democrats to do? Joining me today to
talk all about why he thinks we should have no sympathy for these people and
the importance of Democrats not trying to feel everyone’s pain, and hold on to
their own anger is Frank Rich, Writer-at-Large for New York Magazine and the Executive Producer of the Emmy-winning
comedy Veep on HBO.
The Great Lakes hold 20
percent of the world’s supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance,
work and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under
threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the
continent. In his new book The Death and Life of the Great Lakes award-winning reporter for
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel DanEgan provides a chilling account of an ecological catastrophe happening
right before our eyes, from invasive species destroying the native ecosystem to
outbreaks of toxic algae stemming from the over application of farm fertilizer
which have left massive biological “dead zones” that threaten the supply of fresh
water to millions of Americans. Dan
joins me on the show today to talk all about the book and the perils that the
Great Lakes face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations
to come.

Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127
In the wake
of Donald Trump’s victory in the Electoral College we have seen tremendous
surge in energy and activism happening to challenge the agenda of President
Trump and the Republicans; and if Democrats and Progressives want to capitalize
on this energy and effect change in Washington they need to recapture seats and
take back the House. Joining me today to
talk all about his attempt to do just that is Jon Ossoff, who is a Democrat running to fill the House seat
vacated by Tom Price in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District in a Special Election on Tuesday, April 18.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
Judge Gorsuch’s confirmation hearing to Trump’s second Muslim Ban being blocked
in the courts. Mark returns to the show today to talk all about these issues
and so much more.
