political poetry from Skip Tenczar
Trump said that on 6th they were just hugging, But we all saw that it was a violent mugging. He’s still pushing his big lie, In hopes the truth will die And some fools are still dying for his drugging. Thought of the day Ginsburg viewed voter suppression as a virus that will continually mutate to overcome each effort to suppress it. When left untreated, it will replicate endlessly until it kills its host. Part one: Adam Aton, reporter for E&E news joins us.

Bio: Meyerson is editor-at-large of The American Prospect and was an opinion columnist for The Washington Post from 2003 until 2015, when he was fired by the latter. Some speculate that the firing was politically motivated and related to the 2016 electoral season and the rise of Bernie Sanders.[2][4][5] He served as executive editor of the L.A. Weekly from 1989 through 2001, and continues to write about California politics in the Los Angeles Times.[2] His articles on politics, labor, the economy, foreign policy, and American culture have also appeared in The New Yorker, The Atlantic, The New Republic, The Nation, and New Statesman. We talk about economic studies that show the advantages of different economic policies. These studies are based on data, not just social assumptions. We draw parallels with economic policies in Scandinavian countries. These are part of the Berkeley School of empirical studies.
