If Mainers are any indication, status quo Democrats aren’t going to cut it with the people. Graham Platner has succeeded in fundraising and polling Governor Janet Mills out of the Democratic primary. She’s dropped out, leaving the anti-genocide Medicare-for-all veteran as the presumptive winner to go against Republican Senator Susan Collins.

Then, what if Janet Jackson had no rhythm in Rhythm Nation. Erika Kirk dons a bizarre getup and reacts to the Trump assasination plot by scolding Americans on “radical leftists” and “whiteface”. She of course, the obvious culprit: guns.

Finally, Republicans cave and vote for a bill to fund FEMA and TSA without funding for ICE and DHS. Exactly the hardball that we’ve been begging Democrats to play.

All that and more in this show featuring Wajahat Ali of The Left Hook.
