Without a speaker in the House of Representatives, Congress isn’t getting much work done. That includes progress on the farm bill, which is up for renewal this year. We’ll get into what potential cuts to the farm bill could mean and some of the bill’s past shortcomings. Plus, a new study found that the West Antarctic ice sheet will continue to melt faster despite serious action on climate change. Also, we say goodbye to a record holder who was a very good boy.
Here’s everything we talked about:
-
- “House Ag Dems fight farm bill cuts” from Politico
-
- “Introducing “How We Survive: The Worth of Water”’ from Marketplace
-
- “Crop insurance costs soar over time, reaching a record high in 2022″ from Environmental Working Group
-
- “Jump scares are declining in horror movies — but the scariest remain” from The Washington Post
