What A Day - One Simple Trick To Slim Down Your Relief Bill

The Rochester, NY police chief and other high ranking officers all resigned or took demotions yesterday, following protests over the police killing of Daniel Prude. Prude’s case, along with other recent violent incidents, are leading some to propose alternatives to police intervention for mental health emergencies. 

Republicans in the Senate are back in session with a new coronavirus relief bill, which is itself a pared down version a bill they proposed earlier this summer. For now, Democrats are rejecting it because they believe a larger, more comprehensive bill is necessary. While aid is held up in Congress, state and local governments are facing severe budget shortfalls. 

And in headlines: two ex-soldiers from Myanmar’s army say they were ordered to commit atrocities against Rohingya villagers, the Trump administration is ordered to stop winding down the census, and nine drug companies say they won’t seek vaccine approval without doing rigorous testing.

In the Bubble with Andy Slavitt - Political Influence at the FDA (with former FDA Commissioners Mark McClellan and Robert Califf)

In maybe the most heated In the Bubble episode, Andy talks with two former FDA commissioners -- Mark McClellan from the George W. Bush administration and Robert Califf from the Obama administration -- and confronts them about the politicization of the FDA under President Trump. The former commissioners are hesitant to criticize the current head of the FDA, Stephen Hahn, but Andy pushes them pretty hard on Hahn's inaccurate statements regarding convalescent plasma and what effect that might have on the public's trust in the FDA as the agency gears up to approve a COVID-19 vaccine.

Keep up with Andy on Twitter @ASlavitt and Instagram @andyslavitt.

The Daily Signal - How US Marshals Rescued 39 Missing Children in Georgia

The U.S. Marshals Service found 39 missing children in Georgia over two weeks in a mission called Operation Not Forgotten. The rescued children “were considered to be some of the most at-risk and challenging recovery cases in the area,” the agency said.

How did Georgia state officials work with the Marshals Service to rescue these children, many of whom were being sold for sex? Georgia Attorney General Christopher Carr joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss.


We also cover these stories:


  • Georgia's secretary of state says that 1,000 voters double-voted in the state's primary election. 
  • Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is the subject of a new investigation by the House Oversight and Reform Committee. 
  • The U.S. has its lowest numbers of coronavirus cases since June.
