Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum kick off today with a recap of last weekend’s live show at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Legislative Conference. Check out the whole event in last Monday’s episode, or you can see everyone’s wonderful outfits in the YouTube version.    Lots of doom and Republican-gloom this week, as the GOP seeks to force American women to have babies even as they oppose support for families with young kids. A Minnesota state senator claims that kids in his state don’t need free school lunches because he’s “never met a hungry person in Minnesota…” OK. JD Vance advocates his “plan” for making childcare more affordable: call grandma. And Gov DeSantis goes full propaganda mode to protect Florida’s 6-week abortion ban, while using Florida law enforcement to harass pro-choice supporters. God forbid anyone commit the most heinous crimes of being born a woman or a hungry child in a poor family…    Y’all had some great listener questions this week, including whether or not famous politicians listen to our show, and why isn’t the Harris/Walz campaign pushing more populace policies (or are they)?    If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/   We are 47 days away from the election.
