The Republicans control Congress. It’s up to them to roll back the crazy increases in healthcare costs—then the Dems can accept the budget.

Full Interview: Smithsonian Head Lonnie Bunch in 2020 on Telling “Unvarnished” History, Trump & More In early 2020, Democracy Now! spoke with the newly appointed secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Lonnie G. Bunch III, in Washington, D.C.
