Description

The final legislation – which passed swiftly through the House and Senate last week – suspends the nation’s debt limit until 2025.Nearly 300 people were killed and more than 800 others were injured in a train accident in Eastern India on Friday. While the government has launched an investigation into the cause of the crash, the mass casualties have renewed calls for authorities to take more action to ensure the country’s rail system is safer.And in headlines: A federal judge rejected Tennessee’s anti-drag law, California officials are looking into the arrival of more than a dozen migrants to Sacramento from Texas, and the Directors Guild of America has reached a “historic” deal with Hollywood studios.Show Notes:Crooked Media’s Friend of the Pod Discord – serverhttps://fotp.supercast.com/Tre'Vell Anderson at the MLK Memorial Library — https://dclibrary.libnet.info/event/8491650#branchWhat A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastCrooked Coffee is officially here.
