YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Damage Report host John Iadarola is joined by TYT’s Jayar Jackson to break down today’s top stories.
Justice Democrat Cori Bush becomes the latest progressive to pull off a primary victory. Reports of Rashida Tlaib’s demise have proven to be greatly exaggerated, as the Michigan congresswoman retained the democratic nomination for her seat by a whopping 32 points. Despite being a mail-in-voter himself, Trump continues his attack on the practice in an interview with Fox & Friends. Democrats in Congress continue to negotiate with Republicans and the White House over increased unemployment and moratoriums on evictions. In some entirely unsurprising news, a new book has revealed Jeffrey Epstein was a member of Mar-A-Lago. As the race for a Coronavirus vaccine intensifies, former Fox host Jeanine Pirro makes it very clear her love of masks does not extend to a potential vaccine.

“In an upset that will rock the House Democratic caucus, Ferguson activist Cori Bush on Tuesday unseated Rep. Lacy Clay, whose family has represented the St. Louis-area congressional district for more than 50 years.
Clay dominated Bush among mail-in and absentee ballots, leading some outlets to prematurely call the race, but Bush surged back with a commanding election day lead, narrowly topping Clay by three points when all were counted.
Bush was among the original Justice Democrat recruits in 2018, but lost her first challenge by 20 points. A registered nurse and pastor, she made a second run this cycle, again with the backing of Justice Democrats, the progressive group best known for recruiting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “It is historic that this year, of all the years, we are sending a Black, working-class, single mother, who’s been fighting for Black lives since Ferguson, all the way to the halls of Congress,” Bush said in a victory speech.
