In this episode we’ll tackle the governing challenges both parties are facing. First and foremost, we’ll discuss President Trump’s replacement to the Affordable Care Act—which may already be dead on arrival—and we’ll also discuss the DNC’s failed attempts to reach out to progressives. We’ll talk about the implications of WikiLeaks’ Vault 7 leaks and what that means for our privacy. These topics in addition to more will be covered in this episode. Enjoy!
