Overview:

In a press conference about Covid-19 yesterday, Trump ignored the severity of the pandemic yet again --despite the fact that more than 1000 deaths a day were reported for the 3rd day in a row. COVID-19 continues to cripple healthcare systems across America. The Cook Political Report forecasts clearer skies for Democratic candidates across the US --but Trump crony Hogan Didley claims all polling that doesn’t show Trump winning is “fake” anyway. Trump wants to deploy unmarked federal law enforcement officers nationwide, seeing Portland as a model for other states. It’s time to take out the trash! Find out who John, Brett and you (yes, you!) picked as the Garbage People of the Week. Professor Juliet Schor explains how the sharing economy can be made more equitable.
