Is Ending Nuclear Power The Best Way To End Nuclear Waste?
Is the most environmentally friendly way to stop nuclear waste to stop using nuclear power at all?
Nuclear power is wreaking havoc on the planet, and for some reason, it is still thought of as green, even with the high cost of mining, production and the extremely dangerous nuclear waste.

What's After We Get Single Payer Healthcare?
Single Payer is just the tip of the iceberg and as we organize toward single payer, Timothy Faust argues that we seek Health Justice Now.
From the publisher:
In Health Justice Now, Timothy Faust explains what single payer is, why we don’t yet have it, and how it can be won. He identifies the actors that have misled us for profit and political gain, dispels the myth that healthcare needs to be personally expensive, shows how we can smoothly transition to a new model, and reveals the slate of humane and progressive reforms that we can only achieve with single payer as the springboard.
In this impassioned playbook, Faust inspires us to believe in a world where we could leave our job without losing healthcare for ourselves and our kids; where affordable housing is healthcare; and where social justice links arm-in-arm with health justice for us all.

Factory Farming Is Making Americans Sick [[w/ Tia Schwab)
Everyone already knows factory farming is controversial but did you know factory farming is making Americans literally sick?
Factory farming uses harsh, cramped conditions which are unsanitary for the animals many Americans eat. Those sick animals end up on people's plates.
Tia Schwab, independent journalist joins Thom Hartmann to discuss the rise in unsanitary factory farm conditions and what we can do to be safer.
To combat the unsanitary, disease filled factory farms, chickens and other livestock are being pumped full of antibiotics, resulting in antibiotic resistant and antimicrobial resistant bacteria.
Will factory farming be the cause of the next super bugs?
People are already getting sick and as the Trump administration further deregulates the meat industry, we can expect to see more and more food poisioning coming from factory farming.

Can Progressives AND Moderates Unite To Save America?
If democrats want to win 2020, progressives and moderates have to work together.
From the publisher:
New York Times bestselling author and Washington Post columnist E. J. Dionne, Jr. sounds the alarm in Code Red, calling for an alliance between progressives and moderates to seize the moment and restore hope to America’s future for the 2020 presidential election.
Will progressives and moderates feud while America burns? Or will these natural allies take advantage of the greatest opportunity since the New Deal Era to strengthen American democracy, foster social justice, and turn back the threats of the Trump Era?
The United States stands at a crossroads. Broad and principled opposition to Donald Trump’s presidency has drawn millions of previously disengaged citizens to the public square and to the ballot boxes. This inspired and growing activism for social and political change hasn’t been seen since the days of Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal policies and the Progressive and Civil Rights movements. But if progressives and moderates are unable—and unwilling—to overcome their differences, they could not only enable Trump to prevail again but also squander an occasion for launching a new era of reform.
In Code Red, award-winning journalist E. J. Dionne, Jr., calls for a shared commitment to decency and a politics focused on freedom, fairness, and the future, encouraging progressives and moderates to explore common ground and expand the unity that brought about Democrat victories in the 2018 elections. He offers a unifying model for furthering progress with a Politics of Remedy, Dignity, and More: one that solves problems, resolve disputes, and moves forward; that sits at the heart of the demands for justice by both long-marginalized and recently-displaced groups; and that posits a positive future for Americans with more covered by health insurance, more with decent wages, more with good schools, more security from gun violence, more action to roll back climate change.
Breaking through the partisan noise and cutting against conventional wisdom to provide a realistic look at political possibilities, Dionne offers a strategy for progressives and moderates to think more clearly and accept the responsibilities that history now imposes on them. Because at this point in our national story, change can’t wait.

Trump's Impeachment Just Put Democracy Itself On Trial!
While Donald Trump is on trial in the Senate impeachment hearings, many commentators are pointing out that the Senate is also at trial. Few, however, are pointing out that the fare and future of our country may will also be decided by this trial.
Donald Trump is currently following the same trajectory blazed by autocratic leaders across the world including Victor Orbán in Hungary, Duterte in the Philippines, Putin in Russia, Modi in India, and Bolsonaro in Brazil. Each of those countries have flipped from being democratic republics to authoritarian oligarchies. If Trump is not convicted in the Senate and his Republican firewall there holds, he will be greatly empowered and will see his “exoneration“ [[what he will call it, for sure) as a license to practice even more gross corruption and to even more aggressively prosecute and persecute people he sees as political enemies. If the Senate fails to convict him, it’s also possible that will boost his popularity enough that he gets reelected in 2020, and then the real Trump will come out, unrestrained, unrepentant, and committed to increasing his own wealth and power along with that of the toadies who surround him. Nothing less than the future of our republic is at stake in this Senate trial.

What If A Democratic President Were As Ruthless As Trump?
Would a Democratic President wield power as ruthlessly as Trump?
Interestingly, the current divide in the Senate gives us an insight into how powerful a genuinely progressive Democratic president could be, and how much he or she could get done.
As we saw yesterday, the Republicans voted repeatedly to participate in a cover-up of Donald Trump’s crimes. If a Democratic president were to exercise the same kind of control over the Democratic caucus in the house and as Trump has done with the Republicans, that person could pass Medicare for All, wealth taxes, free college education, and a number of other progressive goals without difficulty. The question is whether the Democratic president would be willing to wield power as rawly and ruthlessly as Trump has done.
If you go back and look at how Franklin Roosevelt got the New Deal done in the 1930s, and how Lyndon Johnson got the Great Society done in the 1960s, it was not that different. In both cases, those presidents used their presidential and their political power with great force, and accomplish great things. They used power in many of the ways Donald Trump is, only for good instead of evil. Oddly, this means that even this impeachment hearing could be a very good sign for the future of our country if Trump and the Republicans lose power in the election this year.

The Economy Is NOT Growing! [[w/ Richard Wolff)
How accurate are the economic statistics that we are told by government, banks and financial institutions?
Are some of these numbers faked to help re-elections of politicians?
Dr. Richard Wolff explains to Thom how shrinking unemployment doesn't always mean rising quality of life, how the inverse relationship between desperation jobs and the economy works and what effect it has for everyone.

Donald Trump's Contradictory Defense Could Prove His Guilt
Donald Trump is defending his attempted extortion of the Ukraine by saying it was his presidential duties, but his lawyer is saying something very different...
So which is it? Is Donald Trump a private citizen or is Trump the President of the United States? Will the Democrats in Congress be able to point out his flaw in his logic?
Rudi Giuliani, the lawyer for President Trump is telling officials that he is representing not the President, but the private citizen, Donald Trump. Does his rebuttal to impeachment fall apart now?

Is China An Imperialist Country? [[N. B. Turner)
Is China an imperialist country, some say yes and others disagree. Here are the facts!
Thom reads an extract from Is China An Imperialist Country? by author N. B. Turner.
From the publisher:
Whether or not China is now a capitalist-imperialist country is an issue on which there is some considerable disagreement, even within the revolutionary left. This book brings together theoretical, definitional and logical considerations, as well as the extensive empirical evidence which is now available, to demonstrate that China has indeed definitely become a capitalist-imperialist country. Indeed, the issue is raised of whether the current world imperialist system is in fact in the early stages of bifurcating into two competing imperialist blocs, one led by the United States and the other led by China.
Is China an Imperialist Country? contains extensive data on the size and nature of the present Chinese capitalist economy; the massive and rapidly growing export of capital from China, to Africa and around the world; the very rapid expansion of the Chinese military for the purpose of ‘protecting’ China’s foreign investment; the dangerous and growing contention between China and other imperialist powers, especially the United States.
This data is analyzed and interpreted in a Maoist framework, in order to decipher some of the implications of the past hundred years of Chinese—and world—history, for those who seek the overthrow and end to capitalism and imperialism in all its forms.

How Biden Can Monkey Wrench Trump's Plans
