"Then Shut it Down"
from Quorum Report Radio · host Quorum Report
You know, the way a government shutdown was handled in a fictional TV show years ago seemed to be more serious than the way it's being handled by leaders in Washington in real life now. Quorum Report Publisher Harvey Kronberg has the scoop on how the issue at the center of the shutdown could affect competitive elections in Texas next year. But, we start with a disturbing story out of South Texas, where a congressional staffer appears to have committed suicide by setting herself on fire. That was the original reporting of Tony Ortiz at currentrevolt.com, who stopped in with the latest. Plus, the FDA moves forward with approval of another generic abortion pill right as Texas lawmakers crack down on those medications and some women in the Legislature become much more vocal about struggles with infertility. Our producer is the famous Evan Sherer, and the original music for the show is by Checkmayne in Houston.
