Fantastic episode.
The typical prison job, like being a cook, pays maybe $0.63 cents per hour. In seven states, people in prison don’t have to be paid at all. But now, some prisoners are earning fair market wages while they’re incarcerated. And the pay… can be six figures.

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Long time listener, first time caller, just out of curiosity, what happens when Senators continue to confirm a lawless President’s appointments? I’ll hang up and listen.
This is what happens when Congress allows the President to appoint his criminal defense lawyers to run the Justice Department.
