The Trump administration's Treasury Department has launched "Operation Economic Outcast," a sweeping new effort to sever Iran's economic lifelines and isolate Tehran from the global economy.

Florida’s election night is in the books — and the results are revealing major divisions within the Democratic Party.

In this episode, we break down the Florida Senate primary, a Democratic socialist victory, Eugene Vindman’s defeat, and the growing influence of the Democratic Socialists of America. What does it mean for Democrats heading into the 2026 elections?

We also dive into the biggest political and policy stories making headlines:

Florida Election Night: Angie Nixon, Alex Vindman, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and the Democratic Party’s increasingly progressive direction.

Republicans Take on Healthcare: Republicans have an opportunity to gain leverage with voters by demanding greater transparency around insurance profits, claim denials, and patient wait times — putting Democrats on the defensive over America’s broken healthcare system.

California’s New Tire Rules: California is moving toward regulations that could dramatically limit the tires available to drivers. We examine the new rolling-resistance requirements, affordability concerns, and accusations of regulatory overreach.

Mississippi vs. California on Education: A stark contrast between Mississippi’s focus on improving reading and math outcomes and California’s “equity”-driven approach to higher education. We look at UC Berkeley’s move away from standardized testing and ask: Are students being prepared for success, or are they being failed by policies that put ideology ahead of academic excellence?

Ro Khanna and Congressional Stock Trading: We examine Congressman Ro Khanna’s calls for economic reform and a ban on congressional stock trading alongside questions about his own trading activity and family wealth.

President Trump says there have been no talks, while General Jack Keane warns that Iran may be looking to escalate the war. We also examine Iran’s strategy ahead of the 2026 midterm elections and whether Tehran believes it can influence American politics.

Next, we dive into the latest revelations surrounding Eric Swalwell and suspected Chinese spy Christine Fang, also known as Fang Fang. Newly released investigative files detail Swalwell’s relationship with Fang and raise new questions about Chinese influence operations, national security, and the vulnerabilities of American politicians.

We also discuss new polling showing Democrats are significantly less popular than they were in 2018 and what that could mean for the 2026 elections.

Plus: Europe’s deadly heat wave and the consequences of limited access to air conditioning, the debate over price controls and the free market economy, and Minnesota Democrat Peggy Flanagan’s claims about becoming the first Native American woman elected to the U.S. Senate—and how those claims compare with Elizabeth Warren’s past political controversy.

The DNC just locked in its 2028 primary calendar — and it's built to check the party's growing socialist wing before it can gain real power. Today on Monday Rundown: why South Carolina leads off the calendar again, how Democrats are on defense over the DSA's agenda while quietly cozying up to parts of it (court packing, anyone?), and why Ro Khanna spent his weekend getting torched online over his "economic patriotism" wealth tax proposal.

Also: a fundraising email from Kamala Harris' PAC leaves Alaska Senate candidate Mary Peltola in an awkward spot, with her campaign trying to distance itself from a request her own team reportedly made. And as Anthony Fauci keeps making headlines, we look at the equally responsible — and less scrutinized — legacy of Randi Weingarten's pandemic-era school closures. Plus, Gavin Newsom and Gretchen Whitmer laugh off the lockdown era like it never happened.
