May 22, 2015I am joined by two guests this hour as I discuss Liberalism in the Heartland, live from North Dakota.

My second guest is Jamie Selzler, a former College Republican Chair who became Executive Director of North Dakota Democrats.

May 19, 2015I interview Ian Millhiser about his new book entitled “Injustices: The Supreme Court’s History of Comforting the Comfortable and Afflicting the Afflicted.”

Ian Millhiser is a Senior Constitutional Policy Analyst at the Center for American Progress and the Editor of ThinkProgress Justice.
