Are Republicans Punishing Striking Teachers?

Republicans in West Virginia are going after striking teachers.

After teachers successfully organized a strike to demand better conditions and better pay, Republicans in the area are making it a personal mission to punish these teachers.

Jay O'neal, a Middle school teacher in Charleston West Virginia and founder of the West Virginia United Caucus and West Virginia Public Employees UNITED, organizing hubs for the 2018 strike, joins Thom Hartmann to discuss the strike and the repression faced by striking teachers from Republicans.

Although it is no secret that Republicans oppose all labor organizations why did Republicans single out teachers after the strike?

The two presidents share a lot in common, including their secrets and even personal ties between Trump and Nixon.

How Trump Lies Us Into War & Concentration Camps

Donald Trump's lies about Iran came extremely close to leading to a war this week.

Is Donald Trump lying about Iran to win the 2020 election or is there something else behind Donald Trump's lies and the war crimes they lead to?

But it is not just Trump. Republicans are working hard to convince each other and us that the concentration camps housing refugees, are not actually concentration camps?

What's the endgame of all of these lies?

Iran vs America: What's Next?

Jamal Abdi updated us on the new sanctions on Iran.

Trump’s Iranian sanctions are designed to force Iran into accepting what the US wants. The Iranian sanctions are Trump and Pompeo wanting the Iranian administration to change. The US sanctions on Iran are making it harder for moderate Iranians to protest their government rather than easier.

The military strikes against Iran were stopped ten minutes before launch. It has confused both Iran and the US. Are economic sanctions ever successful?

John Bolton and Mike Pompeo are running the world and running Trump. They want military action, not economic ones.

Will there be a regime change in Iran as a result of the new economic sanctions?

How "Right to Work" Laws Take Away Your Rights!

"Right to Work" messaging from Republicans that is made to confuse you.

Having a right to work, sounds great but these laws are actually made to stop you and your fellow workers from unionizing and collectively bargaining.

Workers forming unions and collectively bargaining to get higher wages works so well for workers that the Republicans had to trick the public into voting against their interest.

Labor union leaders from around the country join Thom in Chicago to discus how to break down, the right to work for less laws popularized by Republicans.
