The debt ceiling agreement was announced over the holiday weekend. It suspends the debt limit through January 1, 2025; also has some modest spending caps. If it passes, millions of Americans will be forced to start repaying their student loans at the end of the summer.
In this installment of the podcast, the crew talks about what’s in the debt ceiling agreement, why polls on the debt ceiling have been straight-up contradictory and what could happen if the legislation isn’t passed by next Monday. They also discuss the significant increase in laws involving sexuality and gender in Republican-led states and what Americans think about them. And Galen speaks with senior writer Monica Potts about her new book, "The Forgotten Girls."
