VIDEO: Opioid Billionaires’ Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card

Each week, we partner with Breaking Points to review some of The Daily Poster’s most impactful reporting in a video discussion with Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti. In this week’s discussion, we reviewed our big scoop on Congress suddenly stalling legislation designed to prevent courts from shielding the billionaire Sackler family from legal consequences for its role in the opioid crisis that has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. As you’ll hear, the bill stalled right after one of the most powerful corporate lobbying groups got involved in lobbying on it.

We send out the clip of these discussions once a week — and we encourage you to subscribe to Breaking Points here. You can also find their YouTube channel here.

This collaboration adds to our partnerships with Jacobin, Newsweek, The Guardian, The Hill, The American Prospect, The Intercept, and Earther. All of these partnerships help defray the costs of doing our labor-intensive investigations, allow our work to have wider distribution and a bigger impact, and add to the movement to build an independent, non-corporate media.
