  7. Anyone found an update on this? https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2015/07/john-oliver-1-big-chicken-0/ "Big poultry companies have also spent millions in Washington lobbying on behalf of their interests. The National Chicken Council has spent over $2.5 million just in the last five years; Tyson goes above and beyond with over $9 million in recent lobbying expenditures; Perdue has spent hundreds of thousands, as has Pilgrim’s; and Sanderson Farms has spent over a million dollars in the last three years. They have each lobbied against GIPSA reform in some capacity. Their efforts, however, may have been in vain this time. Last week [as of July 13], the House Appropriations Committee approved the fiscal year 2016 Agriculture bill and, for the first time in years, the bill did not include a GIPSA defunding rider. The Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee is expected to release and debate its version of the 2016 Agriculture Appropriations bill this week; historically, the Senate has not attached the defunding rider to its legislation. As it turns out, Oliver’s beef with the chicken giants may have made a difference."
  8. Sundays: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver Mondays-Thursdays: Last Week Tonight: Other Continents' United States of America with John Oliver Am I the only one daydreaming about a schedule like this? Just assign each day to a different part of the globe, hire about 100 extra people, and have John give up time consuming activities like sleeping and eating. Should be doable.
