Summary

I talk to Rep Ro Khanna (CA-D) about the STOP BEZOS Act, which encouraged Jeff Bezos to raise the minimum wage he's paying Amazon workers in the U.S. We also talk about Rep. Khanna's fellow Yale Law School alum Brett Kavanaugh and how the Dems can defeat Trump and Trumpism. Then Nathan Robinson talks about his piece "How we Know Trump is Lying," which he wrote for Current Affairs, the excellent magazine of which he's the editor. Bonus coming soon with Ro Khanna on Yemen and more of Nathan on Kavanaugh and how it could have been prevented.
