This week, we discuss the Trump Administration’s 180 degree turn on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. 

Then, we talk about why housing prices keep climbing even with higher interest rates—and why we should be thinking about a paradigm shift in how we think about owning a home.

Finally, we head to Politicology+ where we’ll talk about a piece in The Atlantic calling for Democrats to have a DEI purge
