The new timeline of events in Uvalde, Texas has upended the debate over what can be done to prevent another massacre like it. Also, New York City’s surrender to the opioid/opiate crisis.

Today’s podcast notes that all the talk of the Supreme Court now being illegitimate because of the expected overturning of Roe v.
