As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2025 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. Each of these will also be posted in the public feed. We’ll be back early in the new year with new episodes.

This episode was originally released August 4th for Death Panel patrons and is being unlocked today for the first time. To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod

Original description: Beatrice, Artie and Tracy discuss the potential impacts of a new Trump executive order called “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets,” which threatens to dramatically expand involuntary psychiatric commitment and make it easier for the government to disappear people off the streets, allegedly in the name of “compassion.”
