Welcome back to The Ledger!
This week we get to make fun of CNN and the DNC - I love doing both of those things if you didn’t know. Trump’s impeachment proceedings began and the corporate media is doing its best to ignore that - while Trump is corrupt - Joe Biden was totally implicated.
There’s a lot of great content for you this week.
Also, congratulations to the protesters who shut DC down last week.

Though the two campaigns are almost diametrically opposed, their effects are the same: to question the legitimacy and “seriousness” of leftists and women of color who have risen to leadership positions in our national politics.
