Extraordinary podcasts:

The Weeds explains the history and current practice of using the budget reconciliation process and why it results in “shitty” legislation. Voters should know exactly what they are voting for. Do they want even more non-cooperation and heartless healthcare bills? Ok, then vote for extremist Republican candidates. That’s how the senate rolls these days.

Thomas Stopka at Tufts University says that the Opioid Crisis is causing an uptick in infectious diseases like HIV, Hepatitis C and other deadly diseases. Yet another reason to not cut funding in any “healthcare” bill. (The GOP will never stop trying)
