Summary

Bonus with Matt Bruenig https://www.patreon.com/posts/21259124This free bonus is a blast from the past! We revisit the election of Alabama Senator Doug Jones, given that Jones hasn't decided whether he will vote to confirm Brett Kavanaugh. Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee. Gabe and I talk about how Doug Jones should go full "Bullworth," and why he can't. Then I play an interview I recorded in December on the even of Jones' election with Cara McClure, a Poor People's Campaign and Black Lives Matter organizer from Birmingham Alabama, who predicted Jones would be a disappointment. McClure is now running for office! For Public Service Commission place 1!
