Summary
Trump says he is going to boost unemployment payments by $400, stop evictions, cut payroll taxes, and extend student loan relief.
In fact, these are all lies. As usual, it’s a new con job, a grift from our grifter-in-chief.
Progressive Wisconsin Congressman Mark Pocan answers listener questions for a national Town Hall meeting, addressing frequently asked queries on mail-in ballots and the deliberations in Congress on the delayed Covid-19 bill.
For the Book Club, Thom reads from "Cyberwar: How Russian Hackers and Trolls Helped Elect a President" by Kathleen Hall Jamieson.
