Julia Ioffe is the Washington Correspondent at Puck. Born in Russia, she is among the most informed voices on Vladimir Putin and the Ukraine invasion. She and Preet discuss the U.S. role in the war, Putin’s recent threat to use nuclear weapons, and the unusual political impact of a Russian pop star.    

Plus, Preet weighs in on the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit against Donald Trump and his children, and the political impact of the January 6th hearings.

In the bonus for CAFE Insiders, Ioffe assesses the Biden administration’s strategy to combat Putin’s latest military escalation. To listen, try the membership for just $1 for one month: cafe.com/insider.
