United States Senator Tammy Duckworth joined us to talk about her plans for the upcoming year in Congress, protests in Iran, and more. 

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) talked about the deadly shooting in Uvalde, Texas; inflation; abortion and other topics in the news.

We spent our entire show talking about (not only) what happened on January 6, 2021, but also what’s happened in the year since and what the future holds for American democracy. We began with Illinois’ other U-S Senator, Tammy Duckworth. She was in the Capitol complex during the siege last year.

U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth has called President Trump’s decision to withdraw troops from northern Syria reckless and short-sighted. It was an opinion the Illinois Democrat repeated during a visit Wednesday to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Just one week ago, the U.S. was on the brink of an armed conflict with Iran. And tensions are still high. Today, we talk about our country's relationship with Iran with Sen. Tammy Duckworth. Plus, what’s the difference between feeling stressed and experiencing burnout, and how can understanding that difference help challenge stigma around mental health? And halfway through 2019, we’re talking about the best movies so far this year while also looking forward to what’s coming this summer.
