The "inflation reduction" reconciliation bill has now passed. How should the left feel? Brie speaks to Matt Bruenig of the People's Policy Project about what the climate provisions really mean in the broader context of the fight against climate change, whether or not it actually addresses inflation, & why Joe Manchin finally got on board with a reconciliation bill after over a year of being pressured. Also, are they going to really end the student loan moratorium at the end of the month? And why are we experiencing historically low unemployment if high interest rates were supposed to depress business growth?

Next, an interview with Brent Welder -- lawyer and former congressional candidate in Kansas's 3rd district -- about the recent victory for abortion advocates in the state who defeated a ballot measure that would alter the state constitution to curb abortion rights.
