Dems Feel Pressure as Fed Workers Union Calls for Shutdown’s End, David Cay Johnston Joins 10/28/25
With the government shutdown in its fourth week and the fight over extending Affordable Care Act subsidies nowhere near over, the federal workers union is now calling for Democrats to abandon the effort. The American Federation of Government Employees wants Congress to pass a “clean” stopgap funding bill now so their workers can get paid, but others in favor of health care subsidies say holding out a little longer is key. That’s because next week, Republicans may also feel pressure as Americans insured via the Affordable Care Act will see wildly higher costs. We’ll talk about it with Pulitzer Prize winning author and investigative journalist David Cay Johnston. AI expert and entrepreneur Rahul Powar will stop through to talk about the benefits and the risks of artificial intelligence. Emergency physician, Dr. Michael Daignault, considers Trump’s recent admission that he needed both an MRI and a cognitive test. Plus, it’s vaccine season and our Dr. Daignault has some great information. The Mark Thompson Show 10/28/25 Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
