In #SwampWatch, they discuss Democratic struggles heading into the midterms, the controversy surrounding Maine gubernatorial candidate Graham Platner, and the White House's decision to pull funding from Los Angeles homeless programs amid concerns about waste and accountability. Later, tech expert Marc Saltzman joins the show to explain what Apple's new iOS 27 update means for users and which features are worth getting excited about.
