I have a fascinating, timely show for you today. But I had to start with the news that broke overnight as the Supreme Court did nothing<\/a>. They just stood back as the most restrictive anti-abortion law in the nation took effect in Texas when the clock struck midnight this morning, the first day of September. They could have stayed it until they hear an actual challenge to Roe v Wade<\/em> from Mississippi that’s already on the calendar this term, which begins in just a month. And it’s doesn’t only criminalize abortion at six weeks or at the moment a fetal heartbeat is detected. It also deputizes people to turn in anyone they suspect of trying to get an abortion or “aiding and abetting” an abortion-seeker. Welcome to Gilead<\/a>. If you want a taste of this strange new Orwellian world, check out the website they launched to help people snitch. Seriously. It’s prolifewhistleblower.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n

We are now in the unofficial final week of summer, as Monday is Labor Day. If you’re looking for a good movie to watch this weekend, we’ve got you covered. A new film opens Friday in theaters and on demand called The Big Scary ‘S’ Word<\/a><\/em>. Director YAEL BRIDGE<\/strong> joins us to tell us all about socialism!<\/p>\n

One more thing. When I awoke this morning, I noticed a video of Senator Ron Johnson<\/a> of Wisconsin, one of the more despicable Republicans in the US Senate had gone viral. Well, progressive journalist and activist LAUREN WINDSOR<\/a><\/strong> of The Undercurrent<\/a> shot undercover video of the liar<\/del> Senator explaining that Joe Biden did, indeed beat Donald Trump in Wisconsin, fair and square. Oops. Go figure…<\/p>\n
