Then they preview the Republican National Convention that is set for next week. They also discuss what's going on with the United States Postal Service and what it means for mail-in ballots and voting rights this November. Finally, they shine light on the latest with the Black Lives Matter movement and Eddie Glaude's new book, Begin Again, which looks at the legacy of James Baldwin.
