It’s episode 62 of Michigan’s Premier Progressive Podcast! MAGA Republicans suffered another beatdown at the polls this past Election Day, and once again, abortion rights proved to be the key reason.

Rep. Tlaib Demands Trump To Denounce White Supremacy

Michigan Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is certainly a breath of fresh air. While some congressional Democrats hem-and-haw over how tough they should be on President Trump, Tlaib isn’t afraid to go after him.
