Welcome to your weekly dose of radical curiosity. Each [Monday or whenever it’s released], Civil Discord critiques the critics and tackles the top lines in news and society. Beginning with the premise that the ‘smallest common denominator’ of self-ownership is the greatest single driver of political, social, and cultural change, your intrepid co-hosts and colorful guests break down what individuals, communities, businesses, and finally institutions can do to find their footing, combat totalitarianism, and make their voices heard, wherever they stand on the issues. If you’re ideologically homeless, culturally tribeless, or tired of hearing the same rants about what’s not working, Civil Discord offers provocative counterpoints and fresh perspectives to keep you in the know, arm you with the arguments, and empower you to create the change you crave.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the federal government can’t tell private sector employees what to put in their bodies—unless that private sector receives a lot of federal funding. What does that say about our medical autonomy in a hypothetical Medicare for All utopia? And why does Maurice have a problem with the Court’s OSHA ruling? Next, Jon Ossoff and Josh Hawley have both introduced legislation to ban Congressional members and their families from trading stocks. Amanda explains why both bills would create new problems by ignoring existing ones.
