Summary
Tonight on America At Night with McGraw Milhaven, it's another edition of MacFarlane Mondays as investigative journalist and MeidasTouch chief Washington correspondent Scott MacFarlane joins McGraw to break down the latest political developments from the nation's capital, offering insight into the biggest stories shaping Washington. Then, Dr. Cynthia Sears, Professor of Medicine, Oncology, and Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Johns Hopkins University, discusses the growing Cyclospora outbreak, what Americans should know about the foodborne parasite, and the concerning social media trend known as "parasite maxxing," where some people intentionally expose themselves to parasites based on misleading health claims. Plus, author Joshua Kendall joins the program to discuss his latest book, Trudeau & Doonesbury, exploring the life and legacy of legendary cartoonist Garry Trudeau, the impact of Doonesbury on American politics and culture, and why the comic strip continues to resonate decades after its debut.
