The Ellison Report is a weekly journal of politics, policy, and the people.

PART I – Heather Foster, former White House Liaison for African American outreach and Hillary Clinton 2016 adviser, discusses the state of the Democratic Party — where it’s all headed and what the game plan is for 2018.

PART II – Keith Darden, American University professor and Russia expert, explains what the U.S.-Russia relationship now looks like with a new political guard in Washington. And what the Putin-Trump bromance means short and long term.

PART III – Brian Blasé, Mercatus Center, discusses whether or not the Affordable Care Act (aka ObamaCare) is going to be around that long – or, if it’s staying and will be known by another name.

PART IV – Former State Sen. Nina Turner talks about a new national political action committee, and how to persuade an entire generation that the political process is worth it.
