In a look back at 2016, Wisconsin’s Attorney General Brad Schimel discusses the opiod crisis, untested rape kits, and the John Doe leak. Sunday marked the 25th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s dissolution. We’re joined by a professor to discuss how the relationship between the U.S. and Russia has shifted in the last quarter-century and what changes could be in store as Donald Trump transitions to the presidency. We also break down the relationship between racism and mental illness, its history, and whether or not looking at racism through the lens of mental health makes sense.
