The same goes for the MAGA Republicans in Congress, who are trying to pass $880 billion in Medicaid funding--funding that'll be devasting to rural Michigan residents with hospital closures. And why are Republicans gutting health care for the working class? So, they can pass trillions of $$$ in tax cuts for the elite donor base, like Elon Musk and Betsy DeVos. And Pat's incensed over the DNC's moves to oust party vice-chair David Hogg. 22:29-38:37: Michigan Farmers Union's Bob Thompson Michigan Farmers Union President Bob Thompson joins the show to talk about how Trump & Elon's cuts are adding pain to Michigan farmers, and rural Michigan.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on a new AP poll gauging Democrats' feelings about the party.
A new AP-NORC poll finds just one-third of Democrats are optimistic about their party's future — down from six in 10 last July. Only 33% of Democrats say they're very or somewhat optimistic — a collapse driven by frustration that leaders aren't pushing back hard enough on Trump's agenda. Meanwhile, Republicans' optimism is on the rise. Fifty-five percent of GOP voters feel good about their party's direction — up from 47% a year ago. But neither party enjoys widespread love. Only 40% of Americans view the GOP favorably, and just one-third feel that way about Democrats. Among Democrats, only 30% have a positive view of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 21% back Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders leads with 40% approval. With gerrymandering and the Electoral College leaving 55% of Democrats doubting the system, the question is clear: Will the party find its next unifying leader in time, or will pessimism prevail?

With just four days to go until Election Day, Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump are set to hold back-to-back rallies tonight in Milwaukee, highlighting the state's crucial role in this year's election. As the candidates rally, a new AP-NORC poll shows a divide in voter trust, especially between Republicans and Democrats. Seventy percent of Democrat voters say they have strong confidence that votes will be counted accurately at every level - local, state, and national. But only about half of Republicans feel the same about their local counts, and fewer trust statewide or national tallies. There have been a lot of concerns over voter fraud, driving a divide. Sixty percent of Republicans see ineligible voting as a major issue, although no facts have shown that, especially around mail-in ballots and drop boxes. But a similar percentage of Democrats trust the methods. Democrats are more focused on voter suppression tactics, which have reached all the way to the courts, with half seeing it as a major issue compared to about one-third of Republicans.
