Summary

Food seems important. Whether eating it or growing it. But in between the government shutdown and the tariff trade wars, Trump and the GOP have endangered both farmers and 40 million Americans who rely on supplemental nutrition programs or SNAP. In Aransas, soybean farmers are taking their own lives in places, while cattle ranchers are wondering why the U.S. is vowing to buy Argentine beef. Sam Seder of The Majority Report joins to talk about the moral cruelty and political stupidity of this moment and the fallout of Graham Platner’s tattoo. Then Chris Robbins of the blog Hell Gate NYC joins to discuss how far mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has come, the growing influence of DSA and how Mamdani is handling the blatant xenophobia.
