The DNC is over and the good vibes campaign can only last so long even though it's better than Trump's creeptastic candidacy. Alex Shepard of The New Republic Magazine joins Francesca to assess whether the DNC reflects the Democrats are becomig more progressive, and the pivot of the Harris campaign toward positive messaging, despite their clear fumbling of the Palestinian speaker. Comedian Karinda Dobbins is also back to talk RFK Jr.'s whale of an endorsement, and Trump's latest idea for a "sPaCE nATioNaL GUarD" and the dawn of AI policing. Finally, a game where we enact our most 'out-there' dream legislation.
