President Trump is ramping up his attacks on the media. Did the White House time his latest barrage against the press to match up with the Senate election in Alabama? Nick Givas, Media Reporter at The Daily Caller, and Francis Maxwell, Host at The Young Turks, weigh in on the latest out of the Trump administration. The people of Alabama finally head to the polls to vote on the state's next Senator. Will Roy Moore win despite all of the allegations of sexual misconduct against him? Givas and Maxwell both say that Moore is likely to squeak out a win. On Capitol Hill, tax reform is still the policy priority. The House and Senate are reconciling their tax bills. Maine Senator Susan Collins has expressed concern over the negotiated bills. Givas and Maxwell discuss whether Senator Collins will flip her vote on tax reform to a no.
