The eviction moratorium blame game
The federal eviction moratorium expired at the end of July, meaning potentially millions of struggling renters could lose their homes. On today’s show, we’ll pick apart the finger pointing between the White House and congressional leadership over who let the moratorium lapse and what’s next for renters and landlords. Plus: the Ozarks, wolf turns and mysterious jetpack pilots.
