Who wins and loses under Trump’s tax plan? An analyst also comments about the deep cuts proposed in the current federal budget in the safety net, including Medicaid and the SNAP food program, and the threats against the Earned Income Tax Credit for working families.

The guest analyst also comments on the debate whether to call it a terror attack and the politics of gun violence and race.
