*Tom's mic was muted for the first couple seconds of this episode, which is why it starts so abruptly. Oh, the fun of recording live! :)

Today on the LOOPcast, we dig into the shocking federal probe revealing systemic failures—and even signs of life—in patients before organ procurement began. We unpack the national implications, lawsuits from the organ industry, and a controversial NYT proposal to redefine death itself to boost organ supply. Plus, Josh solves gerrymandering, Pogo shares details from his secret trip, some much-needed good news (including a new miracle baby!), and we bring a powerful prayer request for a grieving young family.
