If con is the opposite of pro, isn’t congress the opposite of progress? Several members of congress get duped into publicly endorsing a program that would arm preschoolers. Facebook wants to ensure you’re seeing more of the things you care about: baby pictures, cat videos, and Infowars conspiracy theories. Another one bites the dust: another key pillar of the Affordable Care Act, risk adjustments, have been slashed from the budget. Devil’s Advocate sees us truly crossing the aisle this week, as each host has to argue in favor of an opposing political ideology. Don’t forget to check out our new album art. Kudos to Jon!
