This Secure Election Method Works But Republicans Don't Want Secure Elections!
Voter ID doesn't work but one method that was already in place and as easy as signing a document can secure elections but Republicans don't want you to know.
Republicans scream about voter fraud but only offer solutions that don't work like voter ID — all to a problem that doesn't exist. The real problem is election fraud.
Can biomettrics be the next great thing to secure elections? Can Democrats stop Donald Trump from ending vote by mail? Will we be able to stop this before the November election?

COVID-19 Will Devastate Schools, And Already Has
If schools reopen while COVID-19 is unchecked, our children will die, we know this by looking at schools that already reopened to devastation.
After thinking they had COVID-19 under control, Israel reopened only to find out that schools are the perfect playground for such an insidious virus, schools spread to homes, to businesses, and created new epicenters.
But we have every reason to believe it will be worse in America. Israel had COVID under control, so at least they thought.
In Trump's America, the virus runs free.

Are The Poor Getting Too Much Or Are You Just Underpaid?

Fascism Grows Between A Grieving Population & A Dying Democracy
The next sociopath the Republicans nominate for president in 2024 will almost certainly be far smarter, more confident, and more dangerous than Donald Trump.
Until America once again constrains the political power of giant corporations and the billionaires they produce, Americans will continue to be gaslighted, forced into work situations that are dangerous, and die in massive numbers.

Can Democracy Be Trump Proof?
The entire country needs to be laser-focused on stripping the oligarchic and fascistic elements that have crept into our republic since the Powell memo, multiple Supreme Court interventions, and the Patriot Act with its associated war crimes and torture.
America is at a turning point, and whether we continue our slide into fascism and oligarchy, or pull back to small-d democratic values will depend, in no small part, on the planning and work we do now, and the candidates we support and put forward who will be on the ticket two and four years from now.

The Next Virus Will Be Worse!
Covid-19 is not the last virus we will face, nor will it be the most dangerous. The next virus is out there and we need to prepare for it right now.
Our current food production system is a breeding ground for viruses, it is only a matter of time before the next virus is born and wrecks havoc on the world.

The Best Vice President We Ever Had
Our best Vice President was inches away from becoming our most progressive president until something strange happened.
What would have changed in America if Henry Wallace was able to succeed as president, what would a Henry Wallace administration look like?
We will never know for certain but we could guess at the policies that would be implemented.

Can We Stop Trump From Playing Dictator?
Will enough Americans show up to stop Trump from using the dictator’s playbook?
The single most consistent defining characteristic of an emerging dictatorship in a country that started as a democracy is that the dictator regularly holds elections and always wins, because he uses the instruments of government to make sure he wins.
All of these actions make it clear that Donald Trump doesn’t think of himself as a President of The United States, but rather as a tinpot dictator who has seized control of a country that can be turned into a Third World autocracy.
The question we will see answered over the next six months is whether Trump has taken America so far down the road to oligarchy and fascism that we can’t recover.
It will take tens of millions of us showing up, speaking out, and making sure that our votes are counted to stop this train-wreck before it utterly destroys the American experiment.

How Would Biden Handle COVID? [[w/ Dr. Howard Koh)
How would a Biden presidency deal with coronavirus? What can we learn from the worst pandemic faced in a century and there is no coherent plan. 50 states doing 50 different things, leading to a patchwork response. What about national co-ordination and co-ordinated information for the population.
Dr. Howard Koh joined Thom to suggest a one-government approach and what Joe Biden might have done – or might do if he is elected.
