Jo is joined by Senator Richard Blumenthal for an urgent conversation about the Trump Shutdown. They discuss the political gamesmanship behind the Congressional standoff, the truth about rising healthcare costs, and they examine how Republican policies are hurting everyday Americans – especially those in Trump’s favorite red states. The GOP is pushing a narrative that is packed with lies; Senator Blumenthal shares FACTS about the looming loss of health insurance subsidies and the impact on military and federal workers.
