Summary

This year will be an unprecedented referendum on democracy. Fully sixty percent of Americans will have an “election denier” Trump-humping Republican on the ballot this November.  Steve Bannon surrenders to New York authorities in border-wall fraud case – Prosecutors say Bannon siphoned around $1m in “personal expenses” from $25m of donations from Trump supporters who thought they were contributing to the construction of the wall.Yes, that’s the same border wall that Trump said Mexico would be paying for. Also a right-wing judge found that requiring insurers and employers to cover the HIV prevention drug violates the religious liberty of a company whose owner advocated executing LGBTQ+ people.
