## Resource

This episode tackles the messy realities we're facing: Iran's strikes on US bases with conflicting casualty reports, the next phase of Republican voter suppression threatening election officials with prison time, and the explosive diarrhea outbreak linked to Taylor Farms lettuce—which mysteriously got an FDA apology after White House meetings. Lurie breaks down how deregulation is poisoning our food supply and why we can't depend on systems designed to fail us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
