Summary

Ravi, Cory, and Rikki start with J.D. Vance’s win in Ohio’s GOP primary, one of the strongest indicators yet of the power of Trump’s endorsement. Then we turn to the Biden administration weighing federal student debt relief, before turning to the troubling trend of comedians under attack: this time, Dave Chappelle. We discuss how China’s lockdowns could threaten the global economy, and why a mental health startup isn’t writing any more Adderall prescriptions. And finally, we touch on a quiet crisis in America: the sad state of mental health among teenagers.
