Summary
Has the Supreme Court made a partisan decision by not allowing Wisconsin to extent the deadline for absentee ballots?- even when many citizens haven't even received their ballot yet?; The Republican War on Voting rolls on! And with nearly all the urban polling places closed in Wisconsin's primary- but not the rural ones- is this the test run for massive voter suppression in November?
And now it comes to light that Trump's family is heavily invested in the company that makes the drug that Trump keeps promoting (even though it has often fatal side effects). When will all of America wake up to the fact that we have a grifter in the White House?
And Brit journalist Victoria Jones joins Thom with the latest scuttlebut on Boris Johnson's severe case of Covid. And as the Queen makes her fifth-ever speech to the nation, how is Britain responding to the pandemic?
And as Trump continues to ask the Supreme Court to throw out the Affordable Care Act, will 20 million Americans lose their health care coverage after that decision a month from now?
