The guest host for today's show is Brad Bannon. Brad runs Bannon Communications Research, a polling, message development and media firm which helps labor unions, progressive issue groups and Democratic candidates win public affairs and political campaigns. His show, 'Deadline D.C. with Brad Bannon,' airs every Monday from 3-4pm ET.  Brad is first joined by Alex Lawson, Executive Director of 'Social Security Works.'  The pair discusses GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson's comments that Republicans will cut Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in 2027. Alex also shares how Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Democratic members of the House, plan to schedule a vote to expand Social Security, if they win back the House in the November midterms. Finally, he also recaps his exciting visit to Netroots Nation 2026 that just took place in Philadelphia, and he previews '7 Days in DC: A Week of Democracy in Action.'

Next, they explain why Trump's UFC cage fight on the White House Lawn for his 80th birthday wasn't just a fantastic waste of taxpayer money, it was yet another stain he's left on the image of the White House, and the country. Lastly, Sarah shares how Trump's name being removed from the Kennedy Center, following his loss in court on the matter, symbolizes the end of his power in a very important and motivating way.
