Legalizing Death Or Protecting Life 47:59

Play Pause

6d ago47:59

47:59

Send us a text A single week can redraw moral boundaries. When New York and Illinois announced support for “Medical Aid in Dying,” the language sounded compassionate, but the shift was seismic: freedom recast as control over life’s endpoint, medicine repositioned to facilitate death, and “autonomy” installed as the supreme value. We trace what that…

Health Care On The Brink 46:22

15d ago46:22

46:22

Send us a text A listener asked a blunt question we couldn’t ignore: what happens if Congress lets the enhanced ACA subsidies expire—and how likely is it they’ll do nothing?

Send us a text A listener asks a sharp question: can a president really mail out $2,000 “tariff dividends”? We break the promise down to its bolts—tariffs as taxes that raise consumer prices, Congress’s exclusive power of the purse, and a pending Supreme Court ruling that could fence off unilateral tariff moves until mid-2026.
