Here's Episode 114 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!
00:00-13:16: Michiganders Want Populist Policies!
After pointing-out more absurdity from Ohio Republicans, who've introduced a bill banning flag-planting on football fields, Pat Johnston turns his attention back to Michigan, and the many progressive bills that Democrats must pass while they still have the majority in Lame Duck. Pat talks about a Progress Michigan-backed poll showing how Michiganders support state Democrats passing progressive legislation in these final days of 2024. Many of these bills, like Polluter Pay, Paid Family Leave, water affordability, reproductive protections, and others have taken a back seat to more bills directing millions of dollars in corporate welfare.
13:17-34:15: TAP's David Dayen Interview
The American Prospect's executive editor, David Dayen, joins the show to talk more about his recent piece titled, "Michigan Democrats Deliver Lame-Duck Disappointment: The first Democratic trifecta in 40 years is ending with internal dissent, stalled legislation, and up to $10 billion in corporate subsidies." Mr. Dayen illustrates how satisfying the corporate donor base is the top priority for the Democratic leadership, including Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and that's causing dissension with the progressive wing of the caucus. And, Mr. Dayen talks about how the more Democrats cozy-up to corporate-backed interests, the more they keep losing working class voters both in Michigan, and the rest of the United States.

35:00-39:00: MI Dems Pass Unemployment Boost
In the "Last Call," Pat shares the great news that Michigan Democrats did pass a solid bill boosting to Michigan's Unemployment benefits this week. The bill not only extends unemployment by six more weeks, but it also boosts the payments. The legislation is on its way to Governor Whitmer's desk. Now, this is how it's done, Michigan Democrats! More of this, please!
