Shutdown? What Shutdown? McCarthy Survives Another Day As Speaker

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman discuss how the government was able to avoid a shutdown while simultaneously dealing with bitter in-fighting between GOP representatives. They then discuss the legacy of the late Senator from California Diane Feinstein before expressing their disbelief that Brett Kavanaugh has become the moderate voice on the Supreme Court. And the pod would not be complete without calling out more tomfoolery from Mr. Elon Musk. Go to http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast and become a patron.
