I’m late to finally watching this but man...seeing the host of an HBO show dedicate the better half of an episode to public media gives me some incredibly warm and fuzzy feelings. Heavily focused on small stations and the important work they do up and down the country. Flowers for the little guys.
Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.
It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

Jeffries: I think Rick Scott has some history with medicaid fraud in the state of Florida. So he's no expert on health care. We ain't going to be lectured by Rick Scott about anything, but certainly not affordable health care.

If this is even close to being true, it's over the GOP. Losing a majority of whites? That's so rare that this would be political earthquake, tsunami, hurricane, and perfect storm all rolled up in one cataclysmic event.

In these tyrannical times during the presidency of a deranged and demented authoritarian pedophile, I want to point out that it is courageous women reporters who're rising to the occasion. Kudos to ABC's Mary Bruce and Bloomberg's Catherine Lucey, who Trump called "piggy." 🙌🙏👏

Trump just defended the Saudi Prince in the murder and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi a Washington Post journalist.

The GOP promised to release all the Epstein files.
Instead, the GOP fled DC, and Pam Blondie moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a country club prison.
Now Megyn Kelly out there saying 15-year-olds aren't children???

McGovern: Buried in this bill is a corrupt kickback for eight Republican senators, a million dollar payday funded by taxpayers, taken from the treasury and deposited directly into their pockets. What the hell is wrong with this place?

I love the Epstein attention. I only regret that more attention wasn't given to the fact that 8 Rep senators added a provision to the spending bill that affords them the right to sue the DOJ for tracking phone numbers (NOT wire taping)!! I hope this story grows.
