We’ll pick up where we left off last week by continuing our coverage of Biden’s support for Israel and discuss Rashida Tlaib’s pressure on the Biden Administration when it comes to this issue. Additionally we’ll talk about the CDC’s new mask guidelines, a challenge to Roe v. Wade, Katie Porter’s takedown of a pharmaceutical CEO, Chile’s constitutional convention, Joe Rogan’s latest hot take, and much more!
