Summary

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey at wbur.org/survey. Stakes are high in Michigan as Democrat Elissa Slotkin and Republican Mike Rogers prepare to fight for an open Senate seat. Jessica Taylor, Senate and governors editor for The Cook Political Report, joins us. And, Rep. Cori Bush lost her Democratic primary in Missouri. Pro-Israel groups had been sharply critical of Bush's statements about Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza and financially backed her opponent. Politico's Kathy Gilsinan joins us to talk about the impact. Then, whether it is Gov. Tim Walz or Sen. JD Vance, the nation's next vice president will almost certainly be a military veteran. Military Times reporter Nikki Wentling discusses how they are being received by the military community. Plus, in Nick Estes' book "Our History is the Future," he tells stories of past Indigenous acts of resistance and how that resistance has lessons for the growing global water crisis.
