Hey there, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of channels, the show about what happens when

tech and media collide. And this week, we're talking to Adam Mosseri, who runs Instagram, and who also runs

threads. And he told me what threads was originally going to be called.

I called it Textagram as a joke, which unfortunately stuck as a name for months before I managed

to kill it. Textagram, great name.

Yeah, when you're making me regret telling you this.

That's this week on channels, wherever you listen to your favorite podcast.

Welcome to Raging Moderates. I'm Scott Galloway.

And I'm Jessica Tarlev.

So, Jess, today we're joined by one of the sharpest minds in American politics, Larry Sabato. He's a professor at the University of Virginia and founder of the Center for Politics where he spent decades studying the pattern shifts and surprises in U.S. elections. You've probably seen his team's crystal ball election forecast. There's some of the most cited in the country. And Larry himself doesn't shy away from calling out threats to democracy, whether it's Trumpism, rising bitter apathy, or the nationalization of local races. In recent months, he warned that we're in a dangerous moment, one defined more by emotion than ideology where

outrage is fueling turnout and independence are swinging fast. Larry, welcome to the show.

Thank you so much for having me. Looking forward to it. So let's jump right in. We're just a few

months into Trump's second term. You spent your career studying how political eras take shape.

How would you describe the one we're in right now?
