The National Archives are investigating if the Secret Service deleted text messages from Jan 6.
President Cocaine Mitch?! Also, the Biden Administration has received Justin's message. It's time to talk about their wins from the last two years.

Doug Woodson (Organizer and Regional Director for AFSCME Council 31 in Illinois) joins the show to discuss his life-long experience in union organization. But wait - there's more! Meg Sybert (County Clerk and Recorder of Bond County, Illinois, and also Tom's sister) provides her unique insight into running local elections in Southern Illinois.
