Why Atlanta's City Council President Matters

On tonight's Moral Monday episode, we talk about the Great Disparity, between Trump and his fellow billionaire haves, and the have nothings; including those losing healthcare, jobs, farms, and now SNAP, under his control. We discuss Trump's heavily edited 60 Minutes interview and Paramount/CBS' moves to cut out the embarrassing parts; Trump's lavish Great Gatsby ball on the eve of 42 million Americans losing SNAP, and the lies that keep poor white people poor and not voting. Our guests include Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, sho served as Administrator for Medicaid & Medicare Services during the Biden administration, Kica Matos, President of the National Immigration Lac Center (NILC), Rohit Malhotra, who is running for Atlanta council president, and Jonathan Wilson Hartgrove, a Senior Democracy Fellow with the Public Religion Research Institute, and the Assistant Director for Partnerships at Yale University’s Center for Public Theology and Public Policy (with Bishop William Barber) and Chair of the Board at Repairers of the Breach.
