You Are Not Alone
Summary
This episode critiques Senator Darlene Graham’s lack of foreign policy knowledge and the Republican Party’s reliance on Trump’s personal brand over substantive platforms. It highlights recent Democratic wins in Florida school board races and Pete Buttigieg’s argument that opposition to Trump’s policies represents a national majority. The segment also covers the fallout from new US-Canada tariffs, the ongoing Iran conflict, and the political consequences of the GOP’s shift toward culture war slogans.
