Rep. Cori Bush’s unusual path to Congress has included working as a pastor, a nurse, a teacher, and a Black Lives Matter activist in Ferguson, Missouri. Preet speaks with Bush about how her experiences have informed her politics, her fight to extend the eviction moratorium, and her defense of defunding the police.

Plus, has President Biden spoken with AG Merrick Garland about the Trump investigation? And, who — of all the people in the world — does Preet most want to trade places with?

In the Insider bonus, Rep. Bush discusses why she voted against the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the politics of compromise. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider
