Episode 26 - Kraken Sanctions

This week: let’s take a deep dive into the Kraken sanctions hearing; the Pentagon scraps a $10B deal with Microsoft after Amazon sued on the grounds that the contract was awarded due to “outside influence that has no place in the government”; the Commerce Department released a report on proposed automobile tariffs from the Trump Admin.; what’s a “broadband nutrition label”; new Biden policy largely prohibits the detention of pregnant, nursing and postpartum women who have been caught crossing the border illegally; plus hello to Chantale Wong who will be nominated as U.S. director of the Asian Development Bank; and we bid a less than fond farewell to Social Security Commissioner Andrew Saul. Follow your hosts on Twitter:https://twitter.com/allisongillhttps://twitter.com/patorrezlawhttps://twitter.com/aisle45podWant to support this podcast and get it ad-free and early?Go to: https://www.patreon.com/aisle45podPromo codesMatch with a licensed therapist when you go to talkspace.com and get $100 off your first month with the promo code CLEANUP.
