Summary

Ravi, Rikki, and Joe start by diving into a tight race in Chicago to decide who will be the city’s next mayor, Paul Vallas or Brandon Johnson, after a historic loss by incumbent Lori Lightfoot. Then we head north to Minnesota, where a new bill to universalize free school meals is reigniting a national debate about student hunger and nutrition. Finally, we welcome LD researcher Aryaan on the show to talk tats: the emerging health conversation, their social capital, and the extent to which a once-countercultural signifier has gone mainstream.

0:00.0	I think polarization is a true disease, and I think it causes people to say things like this.
0:08.0	Are there students out there who show up to schools who don't have food, and can schools help
0:14.2	solve that problem, is like a baseline question? And once we start saying things like hunger
0:19.5	is relative, I'm like, I'm not sure we're having
