Episode Details

This week: Andrea Flores on the ethnic cleansing at the heart of Trump's immigration regime, and Iran War Season 2 is BACK with fresh war-crimes.

First, Andy Beshear says two sources told him Mitch McConnell is dead. Oh nooo. Meanwhile, the right is accusing Canada of climate warfare over wildfire smoke. 

On top of that, the Iran war is back on for ten straight nights, with the US striking desalination plants and civilian infrastructure in Tehran. In retaliation, Iran killed three more American servicemembers, bringing the total death toll to 18. And it only cost the taxpayers $37.5 billion dollars?! Plus, the SAVE Act's voter suppression push is now somehow related to The Olive Garden? And Zohran Mamdani triples down on his promise to arrest Netanyahu if he sets foot in New York.

Then, immigration attorney and policy expert Andrea Flores — who advised both the Obama and Biden administrations before resigning in frustration — joins to break down the violent racial profiling defining ICE enforcement right now, the deafening lack of investigations into detention deaths, and why Democrats' decades-long habit of treating immigration as a technicality rather than a moral question has left them with a bankrupt playbook.
