November 5, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes


In the wake of the Democratic sweep of the U.S. midterms, we take a deeper look at the factors that got us here, from Iran to data centres. We also examine what could come next from a rejected Republican Party and a blue Congress.


David A. Graham joins us. He's a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of The Project: How Project 2025 Is Reshaping America.
