*** Today's Show ***

The GOP in TN refused a resolution that would condemn neo-nazis and white supremacists. That's because they couldn't possibly label their supporters as domestic terrorists.

Donald Trump is a liar. His base doesn't care. That's the real problem.

Democrats are already showing they learned the wrong lesson from PA18 race.

And honoring the memory of the 17-year-old young, Black man killed by a package bomb this week.

Generation Z is making history as they change the world. Today was National Walkout Day and this generation has a LOT to say. Let's discuss PA 18 special election and what lessons the Dems should and should not takeaway. And finally, the strangest thing is happening when it comes down to the ongoing debate we discussed in episode 561, and I have a few things to get off my chest!

Three "porch" bombings in Austin, TX have killed two Black men. Police consider the "possibility" that these are connected hate crimes.

Rex Tillerson is out at the State Department. Donald Trump lets him know via a tweet.

And finally, is Betsy DeVos the most ignorant Secretary of Education we've had in our nation's history? This 60 Minutes interview may make the case for us.

As unecessary as this conversation SHOULD be, it's back. Should Progressives be willing to unite with the Alt-Right to fight the amorphous Deep State? Jimmy Dore doesn't think that it's a ridiculous enough notion that anyone should get upset about it. Wendi Muse and Anoa Changa join me to discuss.

President Moon of South Korea has pulled off the remarkable bringing N. Korean President Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump to the table. Let's discuss how this could actually be a long-lasting win for Donald Trump and how he's likely to f*ck this all up sideways.

The American people are beginning to speak out against the NRA and we are being led by children and parents who've had to endure unspeakable pain.

Sixteen Democrats voted with Republicans to pass bank deregulation. We discuss why this isn't surprising but so damning!
