About this episode

The episode discusses the ongoing war with Iran, voting map controversies in Louisiana, Trump's actions regarding a surgeon general nomination, the status of the MAHA movement, and Taylor Swift's trademarking efforts against deepfakes.

Today is day 60 in the war with Iran. That means Congress is supposed to sign off on military action, unless there is some kind of loophole. Thousands have already cast ballots, but Louisiana is now delaying its primary to redraw voting maps. Is that legal? President Trump pulls nutrition influencer Casey Means' surgeon general nomination. Is the MAHA movement on life support? Plus, Taylor Swift trademarks herself to fight deepfakes.
