In the 100th episode of The Humanist Report, we’re diving into the special election that took place in Georgia’s 6th congressional district to determine why the Democratic Party’s new sweetheart, Jon Ossoff, lost. Additionally, we’ll discuss the GOP’s healthcare bill that will soon be coming up for a vote in the Senate (we’ll talk about what’s in it, the protests against it, and how Democrats are fighting it). We’ll also talk about Philando Castile, Hawaii’s universal basic income bill, net neutrality, and how President Trump recently insulted the poor. All of these issues and more will be discussed. Enjoy!
