    Rick Smith talks with Graham Trainor, president of the Oregon AFL-CIO, who debunks media myths about “war-torn” Portland, describing a peaceful, united city resisting Trump’s attempted militarization. Trainor explains how Oregon’s labor movement and local leaders are standing firm against federal overreach and fighting to protect jobs, rights, and democracy. Later, comedian and podcaster Pete Dominick joins the show, bringing humor and hope to dark times. He argues that laughter, free speech, and community action are essential tools for confronting authoritarianism—and proves that even in chaos, collective resistance and courage can still prevail.

    Rick Smith speaks with labor attorney David Borer of Gilbert Employment Law about troubling news that the Office of Management and Budget has quietly removed from its shutdown guidance all references to the 2019 law guaranteeing back pay for federal workers. Later, Johnny Jones, President of AFGE Local 1040 and a TSA officer in Dallas, describes how “payless paydays” devastate families, forcing federal employees to rely on credit, food banks, and community support while still expected to show up and protect the public.

    Rick Smith speaks with Alex Lawson, Executive Director of Social Security Works, about how the Trump administration’s government lockout is being used to undermine and ultimately dismantle Social Security under the guise of saving it. Later, Patrick Crowley, President of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO, discusses his organization’s lawsuit against the Trump EPA, aimed at restoring funding for the Solar for All program. Crowley explains the program’s critical role in expanding renewable energy access and creating union jobs, and why protecting it is essential for both environmental progress and economic justice in Rhode Island and beyond.
