Summary
Republicans believe that Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán has figured out the “secret sauce” to turn a republic into a hard-right oligarchy, and today they’re in Budapest drinking deep from his insights on the fine points of destroying democracy. US Rep. Mark Pocan joins Thom for a national Progressive Town Hall and score card on recent primary elections. Shocker! Tyson Foods wrote the draft of Trump's order keeping meat packing plants open during the Pandemic.
