Anita defines "cancel culture" and what it means to be "woke." The dictionary is changing as is our language, but are these terms being misused strictly for political purposes?

Watching the trial of George Floyd's killer is pure anguish and the defense is pathetic.  Anita also looks at the "tyranny of the minority" regarding voting, representation, and guns.

As the Biden administration moves aggressively to get Covid under control, relief and recovery are still hanging by a thread in a close Senate. Anita talks about the challenges Biden faces and the internal turmoil of the GOP.

What is "cancel culture" anyway? Anita explores Dr. Seuss and the Potato Heads. Plus, does sexual harassment include a crude "hit" on a single woman who doesn't work for the boor?

As the Republican Party engages in civil war, Texas is suffering not only from the weather but also from right-wing policy consequences. Anita examines the repercussions of the impeachment trial and the threat of right-wing extremism.

Anita runs down the things you wouldn't know if you didn't listen to this hour: Where do American women rank in Forbes' "100 Most Powerful Women," is California is losing people to Idaho, might your ceiling fan's blades fly off, and what ARE sea squirts?

As bad a year as 2020 was, some good things happened as well: LGBTQ can't be fired based on sexual identity, and a panda was born at the National Zoo! Anita runs down how bad it got, and the heroes we need to not overlook.

The truth about the economy, and the Coronavirus, is stark. Wall Street is preparing for a Biden win, and they're not unhappy about it at all. Plus the reality of the virus can't be denied no matter how Trump tries to spin it. And there's some good news too that has nothing to do with the election or the virus!

Three days to the election and the attempts to interfere are rampant. GOP suing in many states to limit ballots that can be counted, and Trump's record of lack of accomplishment is stirring early voting that is breaking all records.

Why is voting this time around so important, and how is foreign interference affecting American attitudes? Plus, Anita has news under the radar about the environment, sycophant appointments, and what we've lost under Trump. 

Anita's personal tribute to Ruth Bader Ginsberg including things you probably don't know about her career. Her first equal protection case wasn't for a woman -- equal rights for a man opened the Constitutional floodgate.
