How many days of sanity have we had since Trump took office? His protecting the swamp rather than draining it seems to have no end. Then, Barbara and Nicole talk to former Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards about how to get women involved in voting and their communities to encourage them to use their voices at the polls. Plus, the necessity of having a woman on the 2020 ticket.

Barbara and Nicole are catching you up on the Impeachment vote and Romney’s historic move to stand up against a President of the same party. And how does Trump command the cultish response he did at the SOTU? Then they speak with Richard Ben-Veniste about the state and legality of Trump’s presidency and his complete lack of leadership and ethics. They also speak with Angela Lang of BLOC, Black Leaders Organizing for Communities, about getting communities involved in voting and ensuring their voice matters and how we can affect change via building relationships with our neighbors.

Impeachment hearings continue! How is the Republican Senate rationalizing giving Trump such a pass and why is Mitch McConnell always on the moral losing side? Then, Nicole talks to Nebraska’s Democratic Party Chair and founder of the non-profit Bold Nebraska, Jane Kleeb about her new book, “Harvest The Vote” looking at how Democrats can win in rural America and the importance of reaching the people and voices there that we might typically neglect.

And how are Democrats letting the little things distract them?
