Details are starting to emerge about the faulty warrant used by police to justify the deadly raid on Breonna Taylor's apartment. Just as MAGA is crying about Mar-a-Lago. Ben riffs. And Miles Kampf-Lassin--writer/editor from In These Times--returns to talk about the Mar-a-Lago raid. Then he does a detailed analysis of the Inflation Reduction Act. It's a bill capitalists should love--yet all the Republicans vote against it. Just like they voted against the insulin bill. Then we move on to United for Clean Power, which is a bunch of Republicans pretending to be lefties to kill the inflation bill. In short, they're doing what Dems did in Pennsylvania and Illinois--getting involved in the other party's process. Finally, a word or two about Brittney Griner.
