As we dive into campaign 2020, some surprising history on the liberal roots of the case and today’s outcome. Plus, billions of your tax dollars have been spent on California fires. Now a money saving fix could change the game. And, you know his name, but there’s a lot you may not know about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
