Description

Julio and guest co-host Jenni Monet, independent investigative journalist and founder of the newsletter Indigenously, are joined by ITT All-Stars Ryan L. Nave, editor-in-chief of Reckon South, and Karen Attiah, opinion columnist at the Washington Post. They dive into the latest on COVID-19, Republican attacks on voting rights and efforts to incorporate immigration reform into the Democrats’ budget reconciliation bill. ITT Staff Picks: - For CNN Opinion, journalist Morgan Stephens writes about her experience with long COVID: “The breakdown of my own physical and mental health has given me front-row access to the long Covid-19 crisis in a way I never imagined.” - Opinion columnist Charles M. Blow writes about how President Biden has failed to protect voting rights and the Black community in this piece for The New York Times. - Jolie McCullough, who covers criminal justice, reports on Governor Greg Abbott’s increased border security initiatives to arrest migrants for The Texas Tribune.  Photo credit: AP Photo/Eric Gay
