We kick off with Breaking News on the GOP’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”—a brutal federal budget plan that slashes funding for healthcare, housing, and climate programs while funneling billions into policing and defense. We break down what’s at stake and who’s being left behind (again).

Then in our evergreen segment, we turn inward to talk about addiction and substance abuse in the queer community. From party culture and trauma to lack of mental health resources and toxic coping mechanisms, we explore how systemic neglect and internalized shame feed into cycles of substance dependence—and what queer recovery might look like when it’s rooted in care, not punishment.
