We begin with the arrest of a Justice Department employee in Washington, D.C. charged with assaulting a federal officer with a sandwich after calling him and other agents “fascists.” With 1,650 federal officers on the streets having made 45 arrests last night while the DC police arrested 74, we examine the performative nature of the latest example of Trump’s government by stunt which is designed to take the Epstein/Maxwell story off the headlines and whether Democrats should work with the Republicans at all since the GOP make a mockery of democracy as they undo deals on Trump’s orders while enabling a fascist takeover of America. Joining us is Harold Meyerson, one of the nation’s best-known progressive columnists and editor-at-large of The American Prospect where his latest article is“Trump: Now the Cops Can ‘Do Whatever the Hell They Want’.”
