Executive Disorder

Today we are still reveling in the aftermath of No Kings III, where we all got together with over 8 million of our closest friends! Not surprisingly Trump continues to cosplay a king with more illegal and unconstitutional executive orders. We are one month into the Iran war, prices continue to go up, and Trump’s approvals continue to go down. We discuss it all and what comes next.Steve LinktreeJason Linktreemaydaystrong.orgwww.practivistpod.comHosted by Steve Pierson and Jason BerlinProduced by Steve Pierson and Trudi RothVideo Edited by KanaiTitle Song by Steve Pierson performed by Melinda McGrawAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
