Summary

Join Jim and Greg as they cheer House Republicans for planning to shine a bright spotlight on China's many atrocities at home and abroad - from pushing fentanyl into the U.S. to supply chain vulnerability to the persecution of the Uighurs. They also discuss the unique polling approach of the Trafalgar surveys and what it will mean if Republican voters are even more reticent to say who they support but are more determined than ever to vote. And they sigh as Twitter promises ramped-up "fact-checking" that will ramp up before the midterms.
