Episode description
The United States reached its $31.4 trillion debt ceiling on Thursday and the country is at its credit limit. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen wrote a letter to Congress urging lawmakers to act promptly.
Plus, 50 years post-Roe, a split in the anti-abortion movement.
And, the toll of burnout on women leaders like New Zealand’s Jacinda Ardern.
