The Bulwark Podcast - Sam Stein: This Is the Country They Want

Republicans are creating, and celebrating, an immigration police state financed by their megabill. Our cities will be militarized, we'll have prison camps, more masked agents, and more dehumanization—like their sicko alligator hats. And the motivation all seems to be so Trump has a win and the Dems don't. But this is Stephen Miller's administration now. Expect net zero migration, less tourism, less international business, and a lower GDP. As we head into Independence Day, it's hard to see the Jeffersonian aspirational promise of America right now. Plus, the administration's freeze on some air defense weapons to Ukraine, how a younger Sam used to think about Bill Kristol, and Candace Owens's potential influence on geopolitical affairs.

 Sam Stein joins Tim Miller for the holiday weekend pod.

Bad Faith - Episode 488 – Getting Buffaloed (w/ India Walton)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

In 2021, DSA candidate India Walton successfully won the Buffalo, NY primary over establishment incumbent mayor Byron Brown. She would have been the first socialist mayor of a large city since Frank Zeidler left office as mayor of Milwaukee in 1960. But she never became mayor. Brown sued to get on the ballot, failed, but then launched a successful write in campaign. Though she was backed by WFP and had secured endorsements from Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and AOC, Governor Hochul declined to endorse Walton, Echoing the current Zohran Mamdani moment. Now, Walton returns to Bad Faith to give her unique perspective on what it's like to win a Democratic Party primary, only to be beaten by the Democratic Party establishment, to offer advice to Zohran Mamdani, who once campaigned for Walton in Buffalo, and to unpack her feelings on the viability of using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for real change.

Newshour - UN report accuses companies of complicity in war crimes in the Palestinian territories

The UN's special rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, Francesca Albanese, has accused dozens of companies of being complicit in war crimes in Gaza and the West Bank in a UN report. They include arms producers, manufacturers whose vehicles are used to demolish homes, technology companies and banks. Israel rejects the charge of genocide and has called the report groundless, defamatory and a flagrant abuse of office. We'll hear from the report’s author Francesca Albanese. Also on the programme: President Trump's huge tax and spending bill is heading for a final vote in the US House of Representatives - we'll have the latest from Washington; and astronomers have discovered only the third known object to enter our solar system from interstellar space.
