Our guest host today is Maggie Thompson. She is the Executive Director of 'Generation Progress,' a national organization that works with and for young people to promote progressive solutions to key political and social challenges. (On Twitter: @maggiekthompson)

Below is the topics that she discussed, along with the guests she was joined by.

Topic 1: 'Pay Our Interns,' a bipartisan, non-profit organization that advocates for an increase in the amount of paid internships within our government, for-profit, and nonprofit sector. POI serves as a research platform, advocacy guide, and internship database for students across the country. POI argues that paid internships should be available to all students in every sector, whether private or public. They also argue that a student’s socioeconomic status should not be a barrier to getting real- world work experience.

Today's entire show is dedicated to the Special Counsel's Trump-Russia investigation. This includes an interview during the second half hour of the show with Congressman Ted Lieu (D-CA), a member of the House Foreign Affairs and House Judiciary Committees. Just last week Rep. Lieu introduced the Special Counsel Transparency Act, a bill that would preserve the important work of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation in the event that President Trump fires him.

Congressman Lieu is a great follow on Twitter, his handle is @TedLieu.
