Summary
Greg Palast joins Thom on his new book "How Trump Stole 2020"- detailing the latest Republican shenanigans to steal millions of Americans' right to vote. Why are Republicans really against vote by mail? Even with plenty of time to plan an alternative, will millions of us be asked to take our lives in our hands to cast our vote in November?
And then Mark Gamba joins Thom- he's the mayor of Milwaulkee, Oregon who is also running in the primary as the Progressive candidate for an Oregon House seat. Could a Green New Deal be the real economic stimulus we need? How are cities coping with some of the suprising funding changes due to Covid?
Plus - Who would Thom pick to be Biden's running mate?... Postcards for POTUS... Getting Progressives in the game by getting involved with the party... Trump's political mailers... and the sociopathy of the right is on full display!
