Big Bill, Big Pressure — Trump Squeezes Senators, David Cay Johnston Explains 6/3/25

Trump is working GOP Senators hard with phone calls and promises in order to get support for his so called Big Beautiful Bill. Though it narrowly passed in the House, moderates and far right-conservatives in the Senate are a big question mark. Republicans are already seeing some pushback after Elon Musk expressed disappointment in the debt this bill will bring. We’ll talk about all of it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. A new take on an old mystery from the days of the Civil War. Author Andrew Sillen discusses his book “Kidnapped at Sea.” Tech Tuesday brings Jefferson Graham to the show with a preview of Apple’s developer conference next week.The Mark Thompson Show 6/3/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
