Today on The Michelangelo Signorile Show on SiriusXM PROGRESS ch.127

The US now has over 1.37 million confirmed Coronavirus cases and 80,653 deaths. Meanwhile, multiple White House staff have tested positive but Trump and Pence are not self-quarantining. Salon contributing writer and the force behind Digby’s HullabalooHeather “Digby” Parton, joins me today to talk all about the coronavirus, the Trump administration’s response, reopening the states and more.

The fight over seeing Donald Trump’s tax returns goes before the Supreme Court tomorrow. The case has also pushed his accounting firm, Mazars, into the limelight and an investigation by ProPublica and WNYC exposes the accounting firm’s decades long history of fraud, misconduct and malpractice. Senior reporter at ProPublica covering the Trump administration, Peter Elkind, joins me on the show today to talk all about it. 

Fringe protests against stay-at-home orders are fueling upon anti-government energy. These anti-lockdown protesters now have a 21-year-old martyr who died in a police raid. The Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer writes about the confusion around the death of Duncan Lemp and how his story has become a rallying cry for the so-called Boogaloos protesting stay-at-home orders.
