Rob Mariani, The Daily Caller & Alex Lawson, Social Security Works & George Landrith, Frontiers of Freedom all join Thom. Another unarmed man shot by police. So - how can we reinvent policing in America to draw a bright line between modern police departments and historic slave patrols? How can we fundamentally change policing in America so that incidents like this are not commonplace?

Mimi Kennedy, Progressive Democrats of America (PDA)/Mom on CBS joins Thom. When Americans head to the polls this November - 1 in every 4 of of them will do so in an area that uses electronic voting machines - which is a big - big problem. Although they were originally supposed to be the new frontier of democracy - electronic voting machines have now fallen out of favor with most election integrity experts. And for a very good reason, too.

Maya Schenwar, Truthout/Locked Down, Locked Out: Why Prison Doesn't Work and How We Can Do Better joins Thom. 24,000 prisoners in 29 prisons in 12 states have been on strike for almost two weeks. This is almost certainly the largest action of its kind in American history. So why is the corporate media ignoring it?

Sarah Badawi, Progressive Change Campaign Committee(PCCC) & Ashley Spillane, Vote.org all join Thom. U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley announced in an email on Friday that 33 Democratic senators now back a public option being added to Obamacare. Democrats have started more loudly calling for a public option as major private insurers have pulled out of ObamaCare marketplaces and left parts of the country with only one provider to choose from. But not all Democrats have jumped on board - Senator Heidi Heitkamp for instance is holding out support - and she said in July that "I think it's critically important that we stop trying to complicate healthcare and we start taking a look at what needs to be fixed in Obamacare.” Will this help the Democrats in down-ballot elections by giving progressives and first time voters something to vote for?
