Summary

On today’s episode of the MeidasTouch Podcast: House Republicans ram through their latest tax scam in the dead of night, slashing essential programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance—all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires and corporations. But Democrats didn’t go down quietly, staging an all-night protest to expose the cruelty buried in the bill. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is escalating its war on education and diversity, revoking Harvard’s ability to admit international students in a disturbing new authoritarian move. We also break down the global fallout from Trump’s humiliating and racist meeting with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, plus more breaking news and analysis you won’t hear anywhere else.
