David Doel has the best analysis:
Trump Sides With Bernie, Blows Up McConnell’s Relief Deal With One Speech

What next? Whether or not we get the a bad version or a worse version, the real problems aren’t solved. I mentioned Richard Wolff as a brilliant economist the other day, and here he is, scintillating in an interview with Jordan Chariton:

Saving the best and longest for last, Aaron Maté of the Grayzone interviews Jimmy Dore on #ForceTheVote, with a special guest appearance from Katie Halper:

Jimmy Dore on Democratic treachery, Max Blumenthal in Venezuela, Aaron Maté on Russia dementia
