The current administration gaslights and peddles lies. Today we respond by talking with experts who deal in facts.
Dr. Eric Feigl-Ding is an epidemiologist with credentials a mile long who’s been Tweeting crucial information about COVID since January. I figured that since we’re seeing record numbers of new infections every day, this was a good day to cut through the lies the administration has been feeding us.
Then, with the travesty that is Congress pushing Amy Coney Barrett through the confirmation process to fill the seat of the late Ruth Bader Ginsberg, while doing NOTHING to ease the pain of millions of Americans suffering through this pandemic, I wanted to explore our options. So Lisa Graves returns to the show today. She too has credentials a mile long; she’s a former chief counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee on nominations, and a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, so she knows her shit. I’ll ask her some burning questions about what, if anything, can be done about this assault on our democracy. And we may have time for more… it’s a fact-filled show today!
