In this episode we'll talk about the ongoing battle to change the country and how progressive congressional candidates are picking up major momentum with endorsements from Marianne Williamson (and how Elizabeth Warren is failing them).

She nearly beat him in 2018 and is back to finish the job. She'll also explain how her grassroots campaign will continue to organize during a pandemic.

Today we are talking about the out of control and ever-growing debt. What happened to the republicans and their grand claims of fiscal responsibility. Should we be surprised when the government is currently being run by a man who operates his businesses solely on acquiring debt and going to bankruptcy court? ALSO, state spending is incredibly important. Public education is a large portion of state government expenditures; higher education costs us more in tax dollars than K-12... While public assistance is only 0.4% of the budget. We also explore the race for Nebraska's District 2, which could possibly swing blue and unseat Don Bacon. It has happened before.

Episode 86: No matter that the Los Angeles Ports moves 40 percent of the containerized goods entering the country, generating billions of dollars in commerce—it’s rip-off time when it comes to treating the truck drivers and warehouse workers fairly. I know, you’re shocked! I recently checked out a big rally, featuring Bernie Sanders, by workers trying to form a union at a number of companies at the L.A. ports. In the big picture, the workers are getting screwed like a lot of workers: companies misclassify workers, treating them as independent contractors, not employees. After you hear segments from the energetic rally, I chat with truck driver Daniel “Seko” Uaina. I, then, talk with progressive candidate Kara Eastman who won the Democratic primary for the 2nd Congressional District in Nebraska—and, then, got the blow-off from the national party, at least partly because she defeated the favored centrist “Blue Dog.” Because the national party has been so-skilled at winning elections, rights?

I spoke to Kara Eastman the day after she won her primary against Blue Dog Democrat Brad Ashford in Nebraska's congressional second district. Ashford, a former Republican who likes to "govern from the Center" and has an anti-choice record, was endorsed by The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). What's more surprising, kinda, is that Kara Eastman, who is openly pro-choice wasn't endorsed by a single high profile pro-choice organization. The only pro-choice organization to endorse her was Vote Pro Choice. The silence of groups like NARAL, Planned Parenthood and Emily's List is especially frustrating, given that they vocally opposed Heath Mello, the Democrat who ran for mayor of Omaha, because of his anti-choice record, which was better than Ashford's, and despite his promise to be a pro-choice mayor. Not to mention that mayor's have less influence on abortion than members of congress. But I digress.
