About this episode
The episode discusses Lewis Powell's influence on politics and the response of Cuban Americans to Trump's policies.
Wanna know where Project 2025 actually came from? Well, this week Seena and Travis welcome Mehrsa Baradaran to talk Lewis Powell– who he was, why he matters, and how he (maybe) ruined everything. They also dive into how Cuban Americans are responding to Trump’s latest overtures to Cuba (not well) and whether or not Trump’s Golden Dome can stop the rise of North Korea’s missile program.
