Trump opens the government, accomplishing nothing but causing suffering to the American people.

Another member of Trump's inner-circle is indicted, and we learn that 30 members of Trump's White House - including Jared Kushner - could not pass security clearance, but received it anyway - proving again that the so-called President is most likely an agent of a foreign power.

We discuss another week of Republican immorality, treason and madness.

On the #RADIO show this week we cover the government shutdown, re-opening, and what’s happening next; we get the inside scoop from a structural engineer about the literal faults in Trump’s ridiculous wall; we hear the impact of using children’s access to healthy food as a political football; and get inspired by some moving legislation that will improve our democracy and help make sure every vote counts.

*Special guests include: Donna Norton, MomsRising, @MomsRising; Amy Patrick, structural engineering consultant, @TunedMassDamsel; Jim Weill, FRAC President, @fractweets; and Daniel Weiner, Brennan Center, @BrennanCenter.
