Kander and Gupta also dive into the Texas Senate race, as leaked audio reportedly captures Ken Paxton blaming Trump and the Republican convention for hurting his numbers, while James Talarico challenges him to debate. Plus, they discuss the Supreme Court’s Missouri map ruling and the growing backlash from cattle groups over ICE operations disrupting agricultural communities and driving up costs.

To celebrate the launch of his new book, The Invisible List, Ravi shares an audiobook excerpt about his “skill sabbatical” learning to surf—an exhilarating, difficult, and at times terrifying pursuit. Along the way, he explains how he transformed his life by treating each year like a school year—and himself as his only student. But the chapter isn’t really about surfing; it’s about facing fear, embracing discomfort, and finally tackling the big thing on your invisible list—the one you’ve dreamed of doing since you were a kid.
