NY-16 Rep. Engel is caught on a hot mic claiming that if he wasn’t being primaried by progressive Jamaal Bowman, he “wouldn’t care.” NYPD ramps up violence against protesters, which included tear-gassing a pregnant woman in her car. The NYT thought it was a good idea to publish an op-ed written by GOP Sen. Tom Cotton, in which Cotton argues that Trump must “send in the troops.” Trump also wants military troops and tanks in the streets, but the Pentagon is allegedly reluctant to actually cooperate. Trump is NOT SCARED OF PROTESTS which is why he’s literally building a wall in front of the WH. Lynching is still not a federal crime in the U.S. and the bill to designate it as such is being blocked by GOP Sen. Rand Paul. The Lincoln Project attacks Trump again and polls show these GOP ads against the President might be working. Barbara Freese LIVE on her new book Industrial-Strength Denial, which examines corporate lies and the harm big companies refuse to own up to.
