The Inaugural Episode!

Donald Trump had a very, very busy first week as president, so the first episode of The Trump Scorecard podcast has a lot to cover. I look at his attacks on Medicaid, and what you can do to stop them. He’s silencing scientists across the government, bringing back torture, and getting started building the border wall. I also talk to NARAL’s Donna Crane about how Trump didn’t just reinstate the global gag rule, but made it worse.

There’s a lot more, so listen now. Links to all the stories referenced in the podcast are below.
