Mike Levin is the U.S. Representative for California’s 49th district and a leading Democratic voice in Congress. A former environmental attorney, Levin brings expertise on climate, infrastructure, and veterans' issues — but on Brogressive, he joined us to break down Trump’s second-term economic agenda, including tariffs, inflation, and budget cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Levin spoke candidly about how Democrats should message around the economy, why we can’t just cede “fiscal responsibility” to the GOP, and how to organize smarter in tough purple districts.
