This week, we catch up on stories breaking, broken, and mostly unspoken. First, a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun! Next, the White House can’t stop a recession—even if they try to redefine what the word means. Then, President Biden plays footsie with the idea of declaring a… climate emergency? We discuss policy changes that would genuinely help the environment (yes, there are things the government can do!). We also check in on a story about European farmers rebelling against environmental regulations and celebrate Democrats’ plan to own the cons by following the Constitution.
