Will we ever ditch the war on drugs? Author Maia Szalavitz joins to talk harm reduction, the fentanyl crisis, responsible regulation, and why Francesca's husband can't get his ADHD meds. Plus comedian Jenny Zirgrino on the Pentagon leaks and the right's latest hero, and why the right isn't going to let Dianne Feinstein be temporarily replaced on the Senate Judiciary Committee unless she resigns. And it's tax day! And you probably paid more than most billionaires. Let's discuss just how much of our tax money is spent on war and how much is spent on what truly keeps us safe: education and healthcare, housing and the rest.
