Kitchen Table Issues

A recording from Grounded Podcast's live video + a chat about the rising cost of food

In what we hope is our final episode before the Christmas break, we take on one of the biggest stressors for American families: the cost of food. Why are grocery prices rising so quickly, and what can be done—locally and federally—to rein them in? Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group joins us to explain the many factors at play, from the war in Ukraine to immigration crackdowns to industry consolidation.

We talked at length about the partial release of the Epstein files, which were required by law to be fully released on Friday, Dec. 19. The release hasn’t been considered smooth. Many files were completely blacked outothers released initially were pulled back or further redacted later. President Donald Trump’s name (along with Richard Branson’s and former President Clinton’s) can be found in this set of exhibits from a civil suit Virginia Giuffre filed against Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, but the names are completely redacted in another file containing the same documents—both found on the searchable DOJ Epstein database.

Donald Trump’s name is redacted in one set of files from a civil suit found in the Epstein database but published in another file.

Plus, JT weighs in on the DNC scrapping its plan to release a 2024 post-mortem report. He also has a lot of questions about lottery tickets.

Thank you Cat, Clayton Sandell, Angel, Violet Hunter, Maura, and many others for tuning into my live video!
