Description

November’s general election saw the fourth-lowest midterm voter turnout in Illinois in 40 years. So what can we expect in Chicago’s municipal elections? Hooligan Magazine founder Rivka Yeker and Chicago Tribune reporter A.D. Quig talk with host Jacoby Cochran about that story and more, including upcoming sticker shock for COVID treatments and vaccines, potential job cuts at Howard Brown Health, and protections for gender-affirming healthcare. Plus, President Biden signs the Speak Out Act, and Rivka tells us about Hooligan Hangout.
