On this week’s episode of Without A Country, Corinne dives into the growing movement to ban New York City’s horse-drawn carriages following the tragic death of 18-year-old tourist Romanch, shares her firsthand experience at City Hall, and breaks down why this fight may finally be reaching a turning point. Plus: the debate over restorative reproductive medicine and IVF, New York becoming the first state to pause new AI data centers, ICE's latest slaughters and deportation narratives, press freedom and the subpoenaing of New York Times reporters, the latest on white nationalists Patriot Front, posthumous seggsual allegations surrounding the late Senator Lindsey Graham, an update on Nolan Wells, the parasite going around the US, and AI companions for children.
