While many progressives said that it was a bad idea for Bernie Sanders to appear on Fox News. Well, they held a town hall on Monday night and Bernie CRUSHED it. He not only held his own, he convinced several Trump voters on his issues. By the end of it, the crowd was cheering for his ideas. The Mueller Report WILL be released to the public with major redactions by Bill Barr.

Bill Barr accused people of spying on the Trump campaign in a hearing on the Hill Wednesday. There is ZERO evidence of this. It's just another Trump lie that he's trying to spread around as truth. Why would the Attorney General help spread this lie?Bernie unveiled his official single payer health care system plan. Will it be enough to propel him to the presidency?We talk to Molly Claflin from American Oversight Committee, Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress and Travis Waldron from HuffPost!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Attorney General came to the Hill on Tuesday to testify about the Mueller report. He didn't give any new information, but said that a redacted version of the Mueller Report will be available next week. Then.... the REAL fight begins. The fight for Trump's tax returns continue. The head of the Treasury confirmed that the White House has been working with the Treasury over this, which is blatantly illegal. Will anyone care?Also, the DHS is in disarray as Trump tries to ramp up the family separation policy again. Disgraceful. We talk to Max Bergmann from The Moscow Project, attorney Hassan Zavareei and reporter Ella Nilsen from Vox!

We now know that the reason Trump ejected the head of DHS is because he wanted to implement CRUELER policies at the border and she disagreed. This means that whoever is going to head DHS next is going to do whatever Trump wants. And that could be very scary. A Chinese spy infiltrated Mar-A-Lago with advanced spy material. The Trump administration is not equipped to handle this serious threat. Plus, ANOTHER DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE announced overnight. We talk to Daniel Lippman from Politico, Igor Volksy, the author of the new book Guns Down and Molly O'Toole from LA Times!

Donald Trump pushed Kirstjen Nielsen out of her role as DHS secretary over the weekend. While she was unspeakably cruel in her pursuit of Trump's agenda, she wasn't willing to go as far as Trump wanted. Which should scare the hell out of us when the NEXT DHS Secretary is appointed. Whoever it is will be far more cruel than her. Democrats are fighting to get Trump's tax returns. The Trump team is pushing back and saying that this will "be the hill that they die on." Of all the issues out there to fight for, this is the hill that they'll die on? Says a lot about the Republican party. We talk to Hanna Trudo from National Journal, Nikki Schwab from the NY Post and Niels Lesniewski from Roll Call!

Democrats have moved to get their hands on Trump's unreleased tax returns. Trump says he's going to fight them. The law seems to be very clear about this. Hopefully Democrats hold their ground! We have ANOTHER candidate into the Democratic primary. Rep Tim Ryan announced that he's getting in the race. Plus, Trump adds a familiar name to the Federal Reserve Board. Who could it be?We talk to Jack Jenkins from Religion News Service, Alan Pyke from ThinkPorgress and Emily Atkin from New Republic!
