The HBO documentary THE SWAMP (2020) follows three "maverick" Republican congressmen who seek to fulfill Donald Trump's promise to "drain the swamp," even if that means alienating their party leaders.

PLUS: thoughts on Canada Day, Alex Gibney's Agents of Chaos, and a look back at the media coverage of the War in Iraq.
