Francesca and Wajahat react to JD Vance’s lies and Elon Musk’s bad bet in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Plus, NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joins the show.
The Trump administration is out of control in every way. Regarding the Tesla arson, it is arson and should be treated as arson. Upgrading everything to "terrorism" is but a terrorist tool wielded by authoritarians to intimidate the population into behaving as the authoritarian wishes. This behavior has been used by our authoritarians in the militarization of our police that has resulted in the increased use of unnecessary deadly force by police and ever increasingly harsh sentences for purely political actions, such as the Tesla arson. Here is a link to an informational page about arson:
I'm watching Mehdi's interview with Jemele Hill. Outstanding!
When they were talking about people with FU money, made me wonder how much Murdoch must be steaming that Musky managed to buy a President so easily. Like doughboy got to stand in the room where it happens unlike the Aussie Mr Burns.
Regarding the "bring people together rather than divide", that only goes so far. For example, Obama should have had the FDR spine to push Medicare for All even though Republicans and their voters were against it. After all, they lost the next election for something far less but that did protect people from being denied and rejected coverage. FDR won because he provided a voice for the working class against the oligarchs and their Republican supplicants.
The Clinton Democrats need to be removed and replaced by FDR progressives because they stand for something unlike the feckless Clinton Democrats.
Someone needs to slam that lump of rotten meat Leavitt with the demand for evidence of gang membership and of committing a crime. The press has allowed that human garbage to spew statements about ridding the US of gang members without any evidence or proof of membership or crimes and that has to stop now. Everyone in the administration has proven themselves to be incompetents who refuse to follow the law and so should suffer the consequences of their crimes, including hanging for treason in willfully violating the constitution.
Listening to Susan Crawford's victory speech thrills me because she seems so normal.
Woo hoo great news! I was ready to hear he bought the election

Waj and Fran, seriously is this even legal to buy votes in the US.. I mean openly like this? It's just so insane. I hope Zohran makes it through!
