Aaron & Nate cover breaking political news from the commonwealth, including this week's protest of Rep. Andy Barr, as well as big cuts in education spending, and how they would impact our state. We urge Andy to VETO some bad bills, then check in with Lexington's state senator, Reggie Thomas, before closing out with some important opportunities to JOIN THE RESISTANCE!
