We discuss all the great work Monroe has accomplished and his continued fight to support our unions and rebuild the middle class. The remainder of the episode, we highlight how Gov. Greg Abbott is destroying Texas (and our supply-chain), Elon Musk’s hostile takeover attempt of Twitter and the Republican Party's war on the middle-class.
