Summary
John's monologue this time is about Democrats pushing back against the passage of a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill that funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection through 2029. He also discusses a victory for immigrant communities and the rule of law when a federal court vacated and declared unlawful a series of Trump-Vance administration immigration policies that have halted asylum processing, frozen immigration benefits, and targeted immigrants based on nationality. Next, John speaks with the Executive Director of Social Security Works - Alex Lawson . He explains what the Trump Administration is actively doing to put social security out of reach to millions of aging Americans, as explored in major piece by Tammy Kim in the New Yorker last month. And then finally, TV's Frank Conniff returns to joke about Star Wars movies and Trump's obvious dementia.
