Summary

Tensions are rising, and fast. Iran has just launched a retaliatory attack on a U.S. base in Qatar, following American strikes over the weekend. Is this the final move in an already dangerous game of escalation… or just the beginning? Don breaks it all down. Then we pivot to the political circus unfolding a little closer to home: the NYC mayoral race. Don is joined by former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner and tech culture journalist Taylor Lorenz to unpack the chaos, cross-endorsements, and what this race says about the future of Democratic politics.
