Episode 6 Signed, Sealed, Gutted

Donald Trump called it the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” but what’s really inside is anything but. In this episode of Allied We Can Cross the Aisle, Eric Miller pulls back the curtain on one of the most sweeping and dangerous federal laws in recent memory. Behind the patriotic branding are deep cuts to…Medicaid, SNAP, and public healthcare—putting up to 10.9 million Americans at risk of losing coverage. Student loan forgiveness is gutted, clean energy credits are wiped out, and…ICE is handed over $100 billion, while the wealthiest Americans receive massive tax breaks. But here's the kicker: the most damaging parts don’t go into effect until after the 2026 midterms. It’s not just a policy—it’s a strategy. Still, all is not lost. Drawing from personal experience and his book Allied We Can Find Common Ground, Eric offers a message of hope: we’ve been here before, and we’ve won before. This episode will leave you informed, grounded, and ready to take action. Learn how to talk across political divides and mobilize your community while there’s still time. They passed the bill. But we can still pass the truth. Tune in—and get ready to fight forward. Get full access to Allied We Can at alliedwecan.substack.com/subscribe
