This week, we look at three major stories shaping American politics. First, we break down the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral victory. We even measure the power of his message based on his cost per vote. Then we determine what his transition team signals about his mayorship.

From NYC to Washington D.C., we turn to the Supreme Court. On Monday, November 10th, they rejected Kim Davis’ petition and avoided reopening a fight that could have put same-sex marriage rights at risk. We discuss this in Episode 22 as well.

And finally, we dig into the Senate Democrats who joined Republicans to reopen the government without securing funding for ACA subsidies — a move that raises serious questions about Chuck Schumer’s leadership and the party’s chances of winning back the Senate in 2026. It’s a week of big wins, big warnings, and a Democratic Party running out of room to spin its mistake.

New episodes drop every Tuesday.
