Just when you think things can’t get any weirder, Donald Trump announces that because the jobs report today was better than expected, that “George Floyd is having a great day”. Floyd, of course, is the unarmed black man who was murdered by Minneapolis police last week when a cop held him down with his knee on his neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. I told you it was a strange day.<\/p>\n

There was lots of news to cover, most of it bad. But we go through much of it on today’s show.<\/p>\n

On the second half of the show, I’m joined by JOHN NICHOLS<\/strong> of The Nation<\/em><\/a> who has a very timely new book out, The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party: The Enduring Legacy of Henry Wallace’s Antifascist, Antiracist Politics<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n
