Here's Episode #191 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-18:08: M4A Works/Senate Race
LOL's Pat Johnston highlights a new Yale study showing that a Medicare For All system in the United States would save both money and lives by even larger numbers than previously thought. With Michigan's U.S. Senate race officially starting, MAGA Republican candidate "Florida Mike Rogers" would rather talk about anything other than policies, or how he supports The Trump Economy.
18:19-44:00: Kasey Helton on Senate & House Races
Kasey Helton, our good friend and union and progressive activist from Livingston County, joins the show to talk about Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's AND progressive congressional candidate William Lawrence's victories in Livingston County. Kasey gives her thoughts on not only WHY progressives scored victories across the state, but how they'll be able to carry their pro-American, and pro-working class, messages to win in November.
