You never seen Italy so quiet as when DePope gets up to wink on Halloween.

Welcome to Decoding Women's Health. I'm Dr. Elizabeth Pointer, Chair of Women's Health and Gynecology at the Adria Health Institute in New York City. I'll be talking to top researchers and clinicians. And bringing vital information about midlife women's health directly to you.
A hundred percent of women go through menopause. Even if it's natural, why should we suffer through it?

In February of twenty twenty four, celebrated illustrator and children's book author Petra Mathers and her husband Michael mailed letters to dozens of friends and family members to let them know they had died by suicide.
Dear honeys, this is goodbye. By the time you get this letter, both Petra and I will be dead. Next stop, Wonderland.
Why did they do it? And what did it do to the people they left behind? Listen to Death of an Artist on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey guys, ready or not, 2024 is here, and we here at Breaking Points are already thinking of ways we can up our game for this critical election.
We rely on our premium subs to expand coverage, upgrade the studio, add staff, give you guys the best independent coverage that is possible. If you like what we're all about, it just means the absolute world to have your support. But enough with that, let's get to the show. Good morning everybody, happy Thursday. We have an amazing show for everybody today. What do we have, Crystal?
Indeed, we do. Trump crashing out yet again, this time because the Fed has decided to hike interest rates. This comes amidst a lot of economic turmoil, including we now have a few gas stations that are running out of diesel. Is this a sign of things to come? We will dig into that. Derek Thompson is gonna join us to talk about all things AI, but specifically focusing on how China is thinking about the AI race. Uh, we've got a bunch of updates with regards. To Iran, including a US tanker, which was hit in the Strait of Hormuz. Whole lot of stuff going on for the midterms as well.
What is the Federal Reserve’s latest rate hike and why does it matter for the economy?
But Iowa Republicans seem to be under a lot of pressure, running away from Trump, refusing to appear with JD Vance and more. Thomas Massey generally being awesome this week, introducing articles of impeachment against Pete Heggseth, forcing Mike Johnson to cancel the entire rest of the session, and popping off on any number. Of issues. We've got some of the highlights there for you. And Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor are going to join me and Ryan to talk about their new book on end times fascism. Very, very fascinating thesis, something I've been watching for a while. They did a Guardian op-ed a while back that I thought had really important framing. It's now been turned into a book. So excited to talk to both of them.
Looking forward to that. I'm glad that the two of you are doing it. Thank you to everybody who's been subscribing to the show, breakingpoints.com. I officially give up. I give up entirely with my pitch. I hand it all over to Ryan Grimm, who did yesterday more than I did in the two days combined, uh, which I know that the audience just absolutely loves. So my shirtless pledges or unpledges or whatever uh didn't work. So at this point, just sign up for Ryan.
