Nicole Sandler begins the show with a bit of humor each day, as things undoubtedly turn very serious during the rest of the hour.

Following an update on the latest news of the day, Nicole welcomes Ryan Grim back to the show. Ryan is the DC Bureau Chief at The Intercept, and the author of We’ve Got People: From Jesse Jackson to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the End of Big Money and the Rise of a Movement to talk about the concerted effort by the Democratic Party establishment and the corporate media to keep the progressive movement down.
