Summary
In this episode, we crawl out of our sickbeds just in time to watch the Missouri legislature trip over its own redistricting maps. Maternal health outcomes in Missouri are plummeting, yet the military-industrial complex still gets a blank check thanks to a total lack of congressional oversight. We tackle the 'Missouri math' of trying to survive on a minimum wage that hasn't met the cost of living since the invention of the wheel. But hey, since the bar for governance is officially underground, we’re spending the final segment explaining why you should run for office—because at this point, literally anyone could do a better job than the incumbents. Grab your rage, it’s time to talk Missouri politics! LIVE: Jack Smith Testimony DISSECTED as Trump Crimes Unravel
