This week on The Bulletin, Russell, Mike, and Clarissa discuss the Trump administration’s attack on a Venezuelan boat allegedly carrying drugs that killed 11 people, and the implications for foreign policy. Then, CT’s Emily Belz joins us to discuss payday loans and predatory lending, and what Christians are doing in response. Finally, Hana Kiros from The Atlantic stops in to chat about what’s happening with the items from cancelled USAID projects, including a huge fire sale held by the federal government.
