  • Deep Dive: Russia & Ukraine
    As tensions grow along the border of Ukraine and Russia, Liam covers the current situation in the region, some historical background and regional context as well as where the conflict might go from here.

  • COVID, Cuomo, and Crises

    The "most progressive legislation" in decades has passed in the form of the $1.9T Relief Bill after negations and concessions (almost all coming from the progressives - funny how that happens). Gov. Cuomo is in hot water with allegations of sexual harassment and assault, only further endangering the Governor in the midst of a Nursing Home scandal. Meg and Liam also discuss some of the opening volleys of Foreign Policy under the Biden administration, especially relating to the Middle East.

  • It's over! (not really)
