## Resource

Hour 1 - Nick Reed & Sarah Myers are live at Springfield Livestock: The political organization, "Our Revolution," which was founded by Bernie Sanders, has pulled its endorsement for Graham Platner in and endorsed former state lawmaker Troy Jackson instead. There's a problem with Jackson too though... The far-left group Progressive Victory is unveiling a troubling allegation against a potential candidate to replace Platner in Maine’s U.S. Senate race, alleging that this individual “struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her” during a disagreement, corroborated by several witnesses. Andrew Gillum, the Democrat who narrowly lost to Republican Ron DeSantis in the 2018 Florida governor's race, has been arrested in Alabama on drug charges. There will be another Amendment 5 town hall meeting on July 16th at Scramblers Diner.
