A Sh*tlib Shooter and The End of US Empire w/ Megan Gailey…

Can a would-be assassin actually be a Bluesky lib? We discuss Cole Thomas Allen, the politics of political rage, and the White House’s sudden call to tone down rhetoric. Plus: half the White House is pregnant…and they’re all Elon’s.

Then, the Strait of Hormuz is closed, Congress has twice failed to invoke the War Powers Resolution (with Democratic help), and the US-Israeli war on Iran is starting to look like our empire’s Suez moment. We discuss what a progressive foreign policy should actually look like, and where the US goes from here, with foreign policy analyst and UnDiplomatic podcast co-host Matt Duss.
