On Tuesday, a poll by Harris X for The Hill showed that a majority of American voters consider establishment corruption the top issue going into the 2020 election. And, keep in mind, it isn't just about Trump and his family and his Mafia-like regime.
What Campaign? by Nancy OhanianThis morning, Washington Post reporters Meg Kelly and Elyse Samuels, did a blockbuster report about how, Trump is creating an alternative reality online about coronavirus.
Texas has a crackpot extremist as its Attorney General, Ken Paxton, a very far right and very partisan Republican. He somehow thinks preventing Democrats from voting is part of his job description.
I was on the phone with Marianne Williamson this morning and she was talking to me about how we have to change our country's priorities and the need to go from an economic bottom line to a humanitarian bottom line.
