The 2017 death of Sheila Abdus-Salam, the first female Muslim U.S. judge, is examined. Her body was found in the Hudson River, and while initially labeled a suicide by Mayor Bill de Blasio, her husband and colleagues contested the finding. The hosts highlight the lack of media "say her name" activism for Abdus-Salam and question why her death remains an unsolved mystery despite her high-profile status.

Tina Tchen and Roberta Kaplan resigned from Time's Up after it was revealed they advised Governor Andrew Cuomo's team on how to discredit sexual harassment accusers. Tchen claimed she was "used as cover" by the Cuomo administration. The hosts argue this proves Time's Up was a front organization designed to protect powerful men rather than victims.

An undercover nurse's report from Elmhurst Hospital in New York City alleges that patients were being "set up for failure" due to financial incentives tied to COVID-19 diagnoses. The hosts discuss the dehumanization of patients in high-stress medical environments and the impact of government "bonuses" for ventilator use.
