Earlier today, I had the chance to talk with former Senator Jon Tester and Maritsa Georgiou.
Our conversation was timely, with Senate votes on Trump’s budget playing out as we spoke. We talked about the major, harmful, and deeply unpopular pillars of this bill: trillions in tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, massive increases to the deficit, and kicking millions of hard-working Americans off their health care.
I was glad to talk with Jon because he was a rare kind of Senator, unafraid to break ranks when he believed it was the right thing to do for the people he served. Much will depend on how many Republican Senators today are prepared to do the same.
Thanks for watching. Leave a comment and join the conversation.
