Guest: Heather Digby Parton, Salon; 'Driftglass', Pro Left Podcast
NY appeals court upholds Donald Trump's civil fraud conviction, but orders re-determination of 'excessive' $500 million fine. Texas state GOP lawmakers rammed through their extreme gerrymandered maps to steal five US House seats from voters, triggering the California state legislature to pass the 'Rigged Election Response Act,' to counter Texas' obnoxious scheme. HEATHER DIGBY PARTON of Salon and 'DRIFTGLASS' of 'The Pro Left Podcast' delve into the Gerrymandering Wars begun by Texas, Trump's authoritarian takeover of Washington DC, California Gov. Gavin Newsom's hilarious trolling of Trump, and much more in a lively, wide-ranging conversation. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'
