Here's Episode 127 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!

00:00-23:52: Trump Low Econ Polling; Musk Attacks Soc.Sec & V.A.; Dems Must Counter
Pat shares the latest AP Poll showing poor numbers for Trump re: handling of economy, Social Security, and the federal government. Elon continues gutting Social Security, Medicaid, and the V.A., and the detriment to millions of Michiganders! And Pat highlights a national "Hands-Off" rally with many events happening all across Michigan on April 5th, from 1-3pm.

23:53-32:27: Last Call--Trump Cuts School Spending in MI
In this week's "Last Call," we concentrate on how the Trump-Musk regime is pulling back on $42 million on pre-approved projects for public schools across Michigan. It's all part of an overall effort to dry-up public education funding, forcing kids to go to for-profit charter schools. It's been part of the overall right-wing playbook for years, and now it might be coming to fruition. 

32:28-34:36: Ending
