Post Office Survives Trump's Attempted Murder For Now
Quote:
Donald Trump is trying to kill the Post Office and it might have something to with the 2020 election and efforts to bring vote by mail to your state!
Republicans, even before Trump, have said that vote by mail would cost them every election and they are working very hard on that assumption to stop you from voting by mail this November.
Could we save the post office before Donald Trump kills it and forces you to risk COVID-19 to cast your vote?

How Long Will Americans Risk Death For The Minimum Wage?

Are Rubber Bullets Deadlier Than You Think?

You could be blinded, maimed and even die, why are rubber bullets and other "less" than lethal weapons, causing life threatening injuries?
Why are we still using rubber bullets on peaceful protesters? Thom talks to a caller who grew up in the Troubles, where the English army was forced to stop using rubber bullets. Could these be our Troubles?

Quote:

The Real Cost Of Climate Change (w/ Dr. Michael Mann)
Quote:
How much is climate change going to cost you?
How much bad faith can the Trump administration create to pretend climate change requires no action.

Damage by inaction is going to create significant climate change.
Dr. Michael Mann, climate scientist, joined Thom to discuss the madness and denial by the administration, again deflecting attention and kicking the can down the road.
Why Are Trump's Storm Troopers Sexually Assaulting Protesters?

How are we going to stop Trump's masked storm troopers from assaulting people if we don't even know who they are?

Jacob Soboroff, author of Inside an American Tragedy and MSNBC correspondent, joined Thom to discuss the children held almost secretly by the Trump administration.

Quote:
Donald Trump's military budget is being used to unleash secret police in Portland, and one caller wants Rep. Mark Pocan and other Democrats to stop Trump where it hurts — his military budget.

No ice, no polar bears, and no hockey. Climate change will take them right before making us go extinct!
Backyard ice hockey rinks in US cities back in the 1940s, gave 60 days of suitable ice. Today, it is less that 20 days a year. The question is, what effect is this having on polar bears?
Dr. Stephen Amstrup joined Thom to talk about how carbon emissions are affecting the climate and how they are going to kill the polar bears.

Will Trump Get Away With Destroying Democracy?
Quote:
Donald Trump is trying to destroy America and he might get away with it unless we stop him now!
Few people thought he would get away with asking for foreign help to win an election, but he did. Few people thought he would get away with saying terrible things about women and being charged with sexual assault, but he did. Few people thought he would get away with eliminating environmental rules and poisoning our rivers, but he did. Few people thought he would get away with giving a $3 trillion gift to himself and his billionaire buddies, but he did.
Now Trump is trying to set up a situation where he wins even if he loses. By casting doubt around the election, when he loses it he will continue to claim that he is the legitimate President of the United States.
This will almost certainly be a disaster for democracy, both here in the United States and around the world, all because Donald Trump wants to keep himself from going to jail. We can’t let him get away with it.
Even The Far Right Thinks Trump Is A Fascist!
Quote:

Media Fascism AND YOU! Do Not Adjust Your Television (w/ Rep. Ro Khanna)
Quote:

Congressman Ro Khanna joins Thom Hartmann to discuss what we can do with the media monopoly, how independent media is essential to our democracy and how this capitalistic monopoly is draining the life out of our democracy!
What Damage Will Trump Unleash Before November?
Quote:
Donald Trump just tweeted his outrage that the State of Nevada is going to make it easy for all their registered citizens to vote by mail.
Trump is angry that Americans are registering to vote, he doesn't want YOU to register to vote. So what's he going to do between now and November to stop you?
Trump and the Republicans are willing to damage America to hang onto power. What will happen in November?
The best way we can minimize that damage is to turn out this November, and in the weeks before via mail-in voting, in absolutely overwhelming numbers. Double check your voter registration!
How Trump Gets Away With Attacking Journalists (w/ Ken Klippenstein)

The courts say that journalists cannot be attacked, so why are they being attacked with tear gas and arrested in Portland?
