Hello, hello! Welcome back to the Boston commune. This episode is packed, so we've again had to split it. In this half, Joe brings a platter of national and international stories to the table.
Topics covered include: The debt ceiling, and how all solutions to this manufactured crisis only crush the poor under an even heavier boot; the government's new self-imposed hurdles to student loan forgiveness; sneaky favors to Joe Manchin; the dying breaths of environmental regulations (and why this might conflict with Brett Kavanaugh's self-interest); Ron DeSantis' terrible campaign launch; Elon Musk's _other_ terrible launch; Sinn Fein's rise to power in the British colony of Northern Ireland; and roving gangs of killer whales, reclaiming the ocean for all sentient sea creatures.
