Uncle Joe is losing mojo to Mayo Mike not just in the Polls, but also in the contest for 2020 Gaffe (Gaffe defined as accidentally telling the Truth as opposed to politely lying about what you really think) Champion.

Medicare For All!
John Oliver is finally back and he kicks off with a piece about ‘Medicare For All’.
