This week, Carmen and Andrea dig into a chaotic stretch of news: U.S. military action in Iran and Ecuador, the limits of the 25th Amendment, and the growing sense that the country is being run by people wildly unprepared for the power they hold. 

They talk honestly about the rage, exhaustion, and moral whiplash so many people are feeling as cruelty becomes policy - from border‑camp conditions to the normalization of violence and dehumanization. Andrea opens up about the emotional toll, and Carmen grounds the conversation in clarity, accountability, and the reminder that wanting justice is not the same as abandoning your own ethics.
The two also break down the Texas primary - James Talarico’s win, Jasmine Crockett’s grace, and the voter‑suppression tactics that signal what’s ahead for November. 

It’s raw, unfiltered, and deeply human. A conversation about power, consequences, and what it means to stay awake in a moment designed to wear people down.
