Interview with Heather Digby Parton, Salon columnist, conducted by Scott Harris.

Heather Parton discusses Trump’s Cabinet nominees, many of whom smell strongly of oligarchy, corruption and retribution, and the national fight over the future of social security and Medicare we’ll see next year.

Parton has been a Hullabaloo blogger since the early 2000s, Salon.com columnist since 2014 and won the 2014 Hillman Prize for opinion and analysis journalism.
