Only Government Can Solve the Climate Crisis

California is planning to produce half of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 - and Stanford scientists have a plan for them to go completely renewable by 2050. Does America really need an "All Of The Above" energy strategy - or is it time to go completely renewable?

Full Show 6/16/15: Is Donald Trump the Only Rational GOP Candidate?

Hillary Clinton has position on TPP - well, sort of...

Ari Rabin-Havt, The Agenda/SiriusXM Progress 127 joins Thom. It’s the first time she's talked about the TPP - and she seems to have taken a progressive stance about how the deal should benefit the American worker and strengthen the American economy first and foremost. She reiterated her position earlier today. But she didn’t say anything about how to achieve those goals with the TPP. She also didn’t give her opinion on whether Congress should grant the president “fast track” authority - authority that would carry over through her first term if she were elected. And she didn’t address the fact that it’s a crime for Congress to disclose the details of the TPP to the American public - a fundamental block to the democratic process.
