Summary
The first story tackles media claims that America's democracy is crumbling due to recent Republican infighting on Capitol Hill.

Our second segment focuses on a breaking news story about the FBI targeting not just supporters of Donald Trump, but also those with specific political and social beliefs. Finally, we end the episode on a hopeful note, bringing you some good news out of California on how you can make a difference in your community and, by extension, in America.
