New tariffs have been avoided. Mexico has agreed to take stronger measures to slow migration over the border and President Trump has dropped the threat of tariffs for now. Joe Biden had a rough week reversing his long held position on the Hyde Amendment which some say was a purely political shift to get on board with an issue important for the Democratic Party. House Democrats are also scheduling a series of hearings this week on the Special Counsel’s report. Ginger Gibson, political reporter for Reuters joins us to break it all down.
Next, the party drug MDMA is getting more attention as clinical studies are being done to see if psychiatrists can harness the therapeutic power of the drug to help patients with PTSD. Part of what helps the process is that MDMA can strengthen the bond between therapist and patient by enhancing feelings of trust, emotional openness, and empathy. It acts as sort of a psychological accelerant making changes in the brain that lay the groundwork for recovery. Liza Gross, contributor to the Verge, joins us for a look into how MDMA could possibly transform psychiatry.
