On today's episode, The Washington Monthly's Bill Scher and Matt discuss:

— Kristi Noem’s dramatic ouster as DHS Secretary: chaotic mass deportations, deadly ICE mistakes, lavish taxpayer-funded ad campaign, disastrous House Judiciary hearing, and personal scandals — including the Corey Lewandowski rumors

— Noem’s replacement by Sen. Markwayne Mullin — and what it means for the deportation push

— Escalating U.S.-Israel strikes on Iran: military execution vs. long-term risks, assassination of regime leaders, Trump’s demands for unconditional surrender and picking Iran’s next ruler, and parallels to past Middle East quagmires

— Texas Senate race heating up: Will Donald Trump endorse incumbent Sen. John Cornyn over Ken Paxton? And could James Talarico beat Cornyn?

— Trump coalition fractures: buyer’s remorse among young voters, Hispanic swing back toward Democrats, and how Iran policy + deportation chaos could hurt Republicans heading into the midterms

— And MUCH more
