About this episode
As expected, the U.S. government ran up against its legal debt limit of $31.381 trillion on Thursday. In response, the Treasury Department sent a letter to Congressional leaders stating that it has started taking “extraordinary measures” to avoid the government defaulting on its financial obligations.
The Supreme Court announced that it has been unable to identify who leaked the draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade last May. Leah Litman, co-host of Crooked’s Strict Scrutiny, tells us more about the investigation and its findings.
And in headlines: New York lawmakers rejected Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul’s nominee to lead the state's highest court, 1 million people in France protested plans to raise the retirement age, and Lunar New Year will be a California state holiday this year for the first time ever.
