TUNE IN TONIGHT!

On this week's Ruthless Truth Radio’s episode we discuss the "Big Beautiful Bill". Let's call it what it really is: the single largest upward transfer of wealth in US history. The bill slashes food aid, healthcare, and basic support for the country’s poorest and working-class Americans, in order to hand $114 billion tax breaks to the richest 1 percent in a single year. In this episode we share a interview with Amy Hanauer, the Executive Director of the Institute on Taxation & Economic Policy and Jesse Franzblau, the Associate Director of Policy with the National Immigrant Justice Center who break down the implications of the bill.

Join us to get informed so that you can join the fightback movement against Trump's billionaire agenda!
