Syrian rescue workers and activists in Douma, in the Eastern Ghouta province have reported on a deadly gas attack by the Syrian government. The reports have renewed President Donald Trump’s military interest in Syria. On our show today our US foreign policy and empire correspondent Rahul Mahajan will share his analysis of the on-going situation. Then, as we near the IRS deadline for tax filings, we’ll turn to Jim Houser, a small-business owner in Portland, Oregon. Houser is a member of the Main Street Alliance which just published a report about how the GOP tax reform law hurts small businesses. Finally, author and journalist Deena Stryker will join us to discuss her new book Russia’s Americans, a look at US-Russia relations through the experiences of expatriate Americans in Russia.
