Next Episode: Dr. Flojaune Cofer is a Sacramento mayoral candidate and a special guest we’ve certainly never met

Today we're discussing a disturbing story coming out of Sacramento County, where officials--seemingly unable to find a place to properly shelter the region's foster youth--have decided to illegally 'house' them in a former youth detention center's cells.

We then discuss Dianne Feinstein, the 89-year-old US senator from California who has been absent from the Capitol since she came down with shingles in February. While this hasn't terrible affected votes on the Senate floor, it has had grave effects in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which needs her present if Democrats want to outvote the GOP on President Biden's judge nominations.

Thanks for listening and, as always:
