The Salty Live

Alex Vindman is a rare talent: a refugee, a soldier, a whistleblower and now a candidate for senate in Florida. I sat down with him last week to discuss his race against MAGA Senator Ashley Moody, his clear-eyed vision for this country and his time hanging out with Larry David.

Keep an eye on this race, because if anyone can turn Florida blue this November, it is Alex Vindman. Watch this podcast and let me know what you think in the comments.

Please don’t turn away from the horror that ICE is inflicting at this very moment to detainees at Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ. These men and women are on a week-long hunger strike because of the conditions at this facility.

This afternoon guards violently beat the hunger strikers, pepper spraying them and harming them. Please spread what is happening far and wide and please subscribe to The Mayday Network for more breaking news coverage.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome Garry Kasparov, the founder of Renew Democracy Initiative and author of The Next Move here on Substack, to The Mayday Network podcast.

For the past several decades, Garry has been valiantly fighting for democracy in Europe and around the world. He has stood up to Vladimir Putin with extraordinary courage and has been a staunch advocate of Ukraine.

We discussed the future of America’s role in the world, NATO’s role going forward, and what an outcome of the Ukraine war might look lie. I hope you take the time to listen and let me know what you think in the comments.

We were so thrilled to welcome Nicole Walters to Saturdays for Sanity this weekend. In just a short while on Substack, she has managed to dethrone Andrew Tate as the bestselling account on Substack. Once you see our conversation, you will see why.

Donald Trump is finally firing Kristi Noem as the Secretary of Homeland Security and replacing her with MMA fighter (and senator) MarkWayne Mullen. Turns out that spending hundreds of millions of dollars on promoting yourself instead of Trump and sleeping with your subordinate on a government-funded plane (allegedly) is a bridge too far even for this president.

We break it all down here. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments.

Friends,

I was so honored to have John Harwood join me for today’s conversation. We covered a lot of topics: the media’s role in Trump’s abuses and the future of an independent press, what it would take to get our country back to a unifying principle and much more.

John has spent decades as a print and television reporter, covering both Republican and Democratic administrations with tremendous thoughtfulness and care. I hope you watch our chat and share your thoughts in the comments.
