  • About Gavin Newsom's Affair and Strategic Wrinkles

    01:20:02|
    The gang digs into Gavin Newsom's one-time affair after the woman in question — Ruby Rippey — published an account of the scandal in Vanity Fair.

Is she a legit candidate, or is this stepping in the way of other politicians with more experience who might want this rare opportunity?

The crew discusses the legacy of Platner's campaign, what's next for Democrats in Maine, and why this was the story that finally sunk his career. Then they turn to the "Missing Middle," as the 45-64 population continues to shrink, potentially causing havoc on both key elements of society and the economy.Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:20:51 - Graham Platner00:51:02 - Missing Middle01:03:37 - Emails01:17:49 - Wrap-up

Fresh off some big primary wins in NYC and Colorado, who should be the most overjoyed at these recent successes: Democrats, Republicans, or simply the DSA themselves?Chapters00:00:00 - Intro00:20:20 - America at 25000:41:55 - Rise of the DSA01:19:19 - Emails01:31:13 - Wrap-up
