Is It Gay to Flip Texas?
May 29, 2026
Summary
Pod Save America analyzes a fragile U.S.-Iran ceasefire, criticizing it as an empty agreement to negotiate further while highlighting rising inflation and stagflation fears. The hosts mock Trump’s vanity projects for America’s 250th anniversary, including painting the Reflecting Pool and proposing his face on currency. They also discuss the Texas Senate runoff, where Ken Paxton defeated John Cornyn, and examine the subsequent attacks on Democratic nominee James Tallarico.
