Show notes
Senator Lindsey Graham died suddenly Saturday at 71, and Meredith and Rebecca break down what happened, what it means for South Carolina's Senate seat, and why Cory Booker's tribute went too far. Then, two men are shot and killed by ICE in five days, both allegedly cases of mistaken identity, and body camera footage either missing or withheld, and Meredith connects the pattern to a six-month surge cycle nobody is talking about.
Cindy Eckert, founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals and the entrepreneur behind Addyi, joins to explain why calling it "the female Viagra" gets it wrong, the alcohol abstinence pledge women had to sign just to access it, why women could have had it years earlier, and the graveyard of women's health products you were never told existed. Plus, the FDA sent her a letter about her own personal social media and she refused to take the post down.
Plus: Brad Pitt's kids legally drop his last name, the commodification of menopause, the wellness industry vs. pharma, and Rebecca's tribute to the best dogs.
