Around the world, an army of volunteer researchers are helping get important natural science done that charts changes in earths living systems. We learn more from Lila Higgins, Citizen #Science Program Manager, Natural History Museum of LA County.

I’m joined by Republican Strategist Mike Lane as we discuss whether the latest Donald Trump Jr. revelations amount to collusion, and how believable it is that President Trump didn’t know about a secretive meeting that his son, son-in-law, and Campaign Manager were attending.

I’m joined by Timothy Karr, Senior Director of Strategy for FreePress.net, an independent organization that fights for your rights to connect and communicate.

We discuss how the free, open and equal internet we’ve always known (Net Neutrality) is under attack from Trump’s FCC and what we can do to fight back.

Visit FreePress.net for more information, including a link that will allow you to tell the FCC to keep their hands off of our internet!

Their Twitter handle is @FreePress and Tim’s handle is @TimKarr.

Background Briefing 07-13-2017 by Progressive Voices

I don’t really remember watergate and when I found out, I didn’t care. I thought Nixon should have gone because of the War and other crimes against humanity. Russia? Now, I really don’t care. Congress should care. The FBI, The CIA, it’s why we have them. Who should care? The media, BUT NOT 24/7. In that, Trump supporters are right. What should liberals be talking about? The very quickening death of America. About this Report from LA Weekly. About real life in the USA. And we all should start using real language. Be sure to support the show

Leslie is joined by Jason Kander, President of Let America Vote.

They discuss why the Trump administration’s sham ‘voter fraud’ commission is so dangerous, as well as what can be done to hold elected officials accountable who make it harder for Americans to vote.

Leslie is rejoined by Nicholas Wapshott, the Opinion Editor of Newsweek and an author.

They discuss the implications of the news that Donald Trump Jr. received an email stating that the person he was meeting about damaging info. regarding Hillary Clinton was representing the Russian government. (And that after being notified of this, bringing Jared Kushner and Paul Manafort to the meeting)
