On this week's show: The Bulwark's Tim Miller joins to discuss his recent trip to Minnesota, the apparent continuation of significant but less bombastic ICE operations in the state, and why we differ on the extent to which immigration is a political pitfall for Democrats in 2026, 2028 and 2029 — and on how much is gained by talking a lot about how terrible Donald Trump is.

Plus: we talk about the especially lively debate on left-wing Twitter about whether it is pro-social for mentally ill homeless people to pee on the subway, and an undercurrent of discontent that’s driving that debate — New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is increasingly breaking with the far left. As Tim notes, one thing that’s good about being charismatic is you can defy your core supporters and they let you get away with it.

We also talk about the Supreme Court rebuke of Trump’s tariffs, the Citrini memo, and listener feedback on Trump impressions.
