Today, they begin 16 hours of questions for the House managers and Trump's legal team. Nicole has the latest news, and is joined by Dave Johnson, who'll add in some snark as necessary.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and many of us will be sharing the dinner table with family and others with whom we many not see eye to eye politically. Dave Johnson joins me with some tips on navigating the holidays with the family. We'll also discuss the great political divide, not only between left and right, but between progressives and ConservaDems, and more.

She shot [...]
Today was the second day of public hearings in the impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump. Today, it was former Ambassador to Ukraine, Marie "Masha" Yovanovich, and the testimony was quite riveting. So much so that Trump, himself, tweeted such ugliness at her that even Bret Baier of Fox so-called-News said it was witness intimidation, "adding essentially an article of impeachment in real time as this hearing is going on."

We welcomed Dave Johnson back to the show to talk about our new, sad reality, and what we can do to change it.

Dave Johnson joins in to discuss today's Rose Garden spectacle, as well and brainstorm on what the Democrats need to do once they win back the Senate and the White House.
It's been a year, that's for sure. We're glad it's ending. Nicole Sandler welcomes her friend Dave Johnson back to the show for a conversation about the year gone by and why we're already stressed about 2019...
Nicole Sandler and Dave Johnson recap the 2018 midterm elections. Sadly, Beto O'Rourke didn't win. But, as his concession speech shows, he's the real deal. I'm sure we'll see him again, hopefully soon!
