Great news! Dr D is now Daddy D—again. Ben riffs. Pushkar Sharma pays tribute to Amisha Patel. And then explains why and how they put together a campaign to reject Raja in the Democratic primary for Senator. He also talks about Kash Patel and Vivek Ramaswamy and other members of the “white-adjacency” crowd, who look to protect their communities or advance their careers by embedding themselves in MAGA.
