Mississippi’s 2nd Congressional District has been the poorest district in the poorest state in America for over 30 years. In this episode of Breaking the Meta, Michael Winson sits down with Evan Turnage, an antitrust lawyer and former Senate staffer for Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer, who is now running for Congress. They discuss corporate power, rising grocery prices, healthcare access, Medicaid expansion, voting rights, corruption in government, and the future of Mississippi.

Topics include:

• Grocery price gouging
• Corporate PAC money in politics
• Healthcare access and maternal mortality
• Brain drain and economic opportunity in Mississippi
• SNAP, ACA subsidies, and federal benefits
• Congress reclaiming power from the presidency
