Rep. Ilhan Omars unveils a bold plan to complement the green new deal. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

"Every American deserves access to a safe and stable place to live, but unfortunately, our current free-market housing system is not meeting the needs of working families," the Minnesota Democrat said in a statement. Omar explained that "on a single night, over 10,000 people in Minnesota were homeless last year—the highest number ever recorded. 6,000 of them were youth—which means children are showing up at school without a place to go home to. And this does not include the thousands more who are behind on rent, or are looking for a permanent home after an eviction. And that's just Minnesota.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

During 2020 Democratic Primary Debate, the all-female panel asks the candidates an important question. John Iadarola and Betsy Sweet break it down on The Damage Report.

It just took five debates and a panel of all-women moderators for this to happen. Ashley Parker, a White House reporter for the Washington Post, pointed out that child care and paid family leave are important issues to many voters. “Here in Georgia, the average price of infant daycare can be as much as $8,500 per child per year. That’s more than in-state tuition at a public college in Georgia. Mr. Yang, what would you do as president to ease that financial burden?” she asked. Yang responded by saying that the US is one of only two countries without mandated paid family leave laws (the other being Papua New Guinea). That’s not entirely true. There are a handful of small countries without it, such as Suriname and Lesotho. But he was pointing to a big problem: The US is the only developed country in the world that doesn’t guarantee new parents paid time off." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Bernie Sanders destroys fossil fuel executives in 2020 democratic primary debate. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

Bernie Sanders reiterated one of his most aggressive proposals on climate change: As president, he’d like to see fossil fuel executives criminally prosecuted. “The fossil fuel industry is probably criminally liable because they have lied and lied and lied when they had the evidence that their carbon products were destroying the planet, and maybe we should think about prosecuting them as well,” he said. And he’s not the only one to raise it. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has also proposed legislation to hold corporate executive, including heads of fossil fuel companies, criminally liable for causing harm to the environment. Filing criminal charges against coal, oil, and gas companies for causing climate change would be uncharted legal territory. There’s almost no precedent, and it’s not clear which laws the companies have broken. But that’s not the only way to challenge fossil fuels in the courtroom." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Fox News had its hardest day ever following Sondland’s testimony during the Trump impeachment hearings. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

On the websites of many national news outlets, journalists had indeed determined that the headline coming out of the hearing was Sondland’s acknowledgement of the quid pro quo and his declaration that senior officials, including Trump, were engaged in its formulation." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Trump embarrasses himself in a last-defense effort following Sondland’s impeachment testimony. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

Each day, another witness has testified before the House Intelligence Committee as part of the impeachment inquiry into the conduct of Donald Trump, and each day another witness, or two, has laid waste to the claim that the president did nothing wrong when it comes to Ukraine, and suggested that he did, in fact, commit an impeachable offense. Today that honor belongs to David Holmes, political counselor at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, who told lawmakers in no uncertain terms that he heard Trump loudly discussing the plot to extort Ukraine. In his opening statement, Holmes told the committee that starting June 17, his focus, along with Ambassador Bill Taylor, was to coordinate a White House visit between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which they hoped to do by having the Ukrainians “deliver things we thought President Trump might care about, such as commercial deals benefitting the United States.” But, of course, Trump wasn’t interested in things that would benefit the country, only his own agenda. “Within a week or two,” Holmes said, “it became apparent that the energy sector reforms, commercial deals, and anti-corruption efforts on which we were making progress were not making a dent in terms of persuading the White House to schedule a meeting between the presidents.” On June 27, E.U. Ambassador Gordon Sondland told Taylor by phone, in a conversation that Taylor relayed to Holmes, that Zelensky needed to assure Trump he wasn’t standing in the way of the “investigations.” Holmes said he understood that said investigations referred to the Burisma-Biden probes that Rudy Giuliani had been pushing in the media since March. A day later, Taylor told Holmes that in a call with Zelensky, Sondland, then-special envoy to Ukraine Kurt Volker, and Secretary of Energy Rick Perry, “it was made clear that some action on a Burisma-Biden investigation was a precondition for an Oval Office meeting.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The study from the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) and University of Michigan found that Americans are more likely to dismiss the results of a poll if they find those results unfavorable for their political leanings. It went on to find that publicizing a poll's methodology is the best way to dispel illusions of partisan bias in objective sampling of the population. “If people focus on these objective aspects of polls, they may be less likely to immediately dismiss results that they find unfavorable," wrote the study's lead author, Ozan Kuru." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

As Betsy was growing up, her granddad lobstered, her mom taught middle school math, and her Dad worked in foodservice. Betsy’s mother, Dottie, and father, Dick, instilled in her a can-do attitude early in life. On a road trip, the family car broke down, and Betsy’s mother, who knew nothing about cars, popped the hood open to take a look. She told a skeptical Betsy, “it’s a logical system; we can figure it out.” Dottie got that car working again, and they continued on their trip. Betsy has carried that sense of determination with her throughout her adult life. As an advocate for underserved Mainers for almost 40 years, Betsy has been on our side fighting to protect working-class values in Maine’s state budget for 37 years. She got her start organizing for the Equal Rights Amendment to ensure everyone is on a level playing field, and she learned early on that her life’s passion is doing everything she could to make this world a better place. Betsy went on to serve as program coordinator for the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, Executive Director of the Maine Women’s Lobby (where she successfully advocated to raise the minimum wage), Commissioner for Women under Governors Brennan and McKernan, and she was a founding supporter of Equality Maine MLGPA." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Joe,” Barajas said of his early interest in the military. He was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, to a family of ranchers. Later, he would lose much of his memory, the result of a concussion sustained in a parachute jump exercise, but the day his parents left their ranch in search of work in California remains tucked firmly in his mind. A year after they left, 7-year-old Barajas and his two sisters were reunited with them in California. None had arrived legally, yet within a decade they would all become lawful permanent residents, allowed to live and work in the country and eventually apply to become citizens. When Barajas turned 17 he enlisted in the U.S. Army, and his path to citizenship appeared all but certain." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Matt Gaetz (R-FL) sought preemptive pardons from the president for any crimes he and his allies in Congress may have committed, The New York Times reports. Gaetz, 38, is currently under federal investigation for potential sex trafficking in connection with an alleged relationship with a 17-year-old girl, focusing especially on whether he paid for her to travel with him, and the inquiry had begun by the time he made the request for multiple pardons. The Department of Justice is also probing whether Gaetz paid multiple women for sex on various visits to Florida alongside his close ally Joel Greenberg, the now indicted former Seminole County tax collector. Gaetz has denied the allegations." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
