Well, it looks like our Secretary of Defense is handing out state secrets like Halloween candy, and for some reason we can't understand, he still has a job. That's because he's the only guy willing to order our military do the terrible things Trump has in mind. We discuss this and much more with Daniel Horowitz of AFGE and author Shaun Richman.

Republicans hate working people. That much is clear. But they also hate poor people, which is a bit odd, because GOP policies make so many poor people and force struggling families into desperate circumstances while funneling their wages to the billionaire class. We discuss this and more with Meagan Hatcher-Mays of United for Democracy and Ryan Mulholland of The Center for American Progress.

So prices are up, the markets are down, container ships are empty and the layoffs are beginning. I think it's safe to say that while many voted for Trump, no one voted for the mess we're currently in. Phil Glover of AFGE and Sarah Burris of raw Story join us to discuss.

The Trump administration is now at war with the courts and is ignoring court orders, throwing our entire system of democracy into question. It's pretty safe to say that while many people voted for Trump, no one wanted this to happen, and people are starting to wake up and see the authoritarian for what he is. Professor John Logan of San Diego State University and Lynn Rhinehart of The Economic Policy Institute are our guests.

While tariffs are a necessary tool we use to balance trade relations around the globe, Trump undisciplined use of them as a cudgel simply isn't going to work, and he knows it. That's why he adds them and removes them seemingly at random, and his lack of understanding is leading us toward a financial meltdown that everyone but him can see coming. Our guests today are Will Ragland of The Center for American Progress, and Leslie Dach of Protect Our Care.

There's one thing many are overlooking when they cover the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case - most are ignoring the fact that he is a union apprentice, making his kidnapping not only an attack on our laws and system of justice, but also a direct attack on working people and their organizations. Add this to the recent attacks on the NLRB, and we have the making of an all-out assault on American working families. Bobby Kogan of the Center for American Progress and Jimmy Williams of IUPAT are here to discuss.

The Constitutional crisis has arrived, my fellow Americans. Trump has now defied a court order in the Garcia case, and in doing so, he has challenged the legitimacy of the court, and its ability to rule on his actions. Buckle up, folks - things are going to accelerate from here. Our guest today are Lori Wallach of Rethink Trade, and Rich Ojeda, veteran and host of "Ojeda Live."

It's Tax Day, America! Time for all of us to step up and kick in so the billionaires don't have to. Time to buy them yachts with our tax dollars, and time to finance their celebrity space tourism by grinding away at our jobs and paying more and more of our wages to the people who care less and less about whether or not we can get by. Our guests today are Trade expert Emily de La Bruyere or Horizon Advisory and journalist Sarah Burris of Raw Story.
