Elon Musk says that, if his purchase of Twitter actually happens, he'll be welcoming Donald Trump back on the platform because his permaban was "stupid." This is probably the worst thing that could happen for conservatives, and Farron Cousins explains why.
Republicans have made it clear that overturning Roe v Wade is only the beginning, and they are actively coming to take away more of your rights at the state level. Salon.com's Heather "Digby" Parton will tell us what's happening.
And on the member show, the corporate media has helped Republicans push all sorts of lies about reproductive choice over the years, and they need to be held accountable for giving anti-choice Republicans a platform to spread their hate and lies. Media Matters' Sharon Kann will join us for that discussion. Get the full show at www.rofpodcast.com

We'll also be taking your questions! To get in on future Q&As, make sure you check out our YouTube channel (YouTube.com/TheRingofFire) and keep an eye on the Community page!
