Ep. 62 – The Women’s March: A Conversation with Tamara Lee and Brenna O’Brien

This week, we examine Russian collusion, right wing coups & radical confrontation, aka TrumPutin, the government shutdown and the Women’s March.
BITCHFEST:
Friday’s NYT bombshell: F.B.I. Opened Inquiry Into Whether Trump Was Secretly Working on Behalf of Russia
Saturday’s WaPo bombshell: Trump has concealed details of his face-to-face encounters with Putin from senior officials in administration
Last week’s monumental fuckup by Paul Manafort’s lawyers.
Twitter thread on NATO that Megan shared.
THIS DOCTOR MAKES HOUSE CALLS
Action of the week:
This shutdown is a right-wing wet dream where “the programs designed to help the vulnerable and the poor are gutted, while institutions designed to serve the rich and powerful remain unscathed”
And in the meantime, Trump wants to leave NATO upending world order and destroying the institution that has made peace possible.
Calls to congress
My name is XX and my zip code is XX. I am very worried about the shutdown and about us leaving NATO. I ask the Senator pressure McConnell to do his job and hold a vote to end the shutdown. Please also make it clear that we cannot leave NATO. Thank you.
