Manage episode 488601872 series 2545351

But the tides may be turning as the Trump administration seeks deep cuts to social benefits that older Americans rely on. We’ll get into it. And, Kimberly joins the show from the National Press Club in Washington D.C., to make us smarter about how the GOP’s reconciliation bill could impact the richest and poorest Americans. Plus, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:

- "Why is everyone so crazy for Labubu toys?" from Marketplace
- "Booming sales of the latest Nintendo Switch bode well for the gaming industry" from Marketplace
