    MAHA's Milk and Vibes with Dave Anthony & Beatrice Adler-Bolton (Ep 281)

    From Biden's cancer To MAHA's eugenics, we're talking about the politics of healthcare... again. Beatrice Adler-Bolton is back to talk Medicare and the cruel budget that Republicans are poised to pass, but how Biden also oversaw the removal of millions from the program during Covid as well. Speaking of Covid, Dave Anthony is here to bitch about the vaccine only being available to the elderly and immunocompromised, and comes in hot with some hard truths about Biden's cancer diagnosis. Blue MAGA is out in full force tone policing anyone who asks us not to sympathy wash the former President, and they happen to have a lot in common with those blame anti-genocide demonstrators for his loss.... hmmmm coincidence?
