The Primaries Will Continue Until Morale Improves
7/21/20261 hr 11 min
Troy Jackson locks down the nomination to replace Graham Platner in Maine, Wisconsin's gubornatorial primary devolves into chaos as the governor wades in with an unexpected endorsement, and Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez rally in Michigan with Abdul El-Sayed, who's locked in a heated race with Haley Stevens. Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss all the latest from this summer's wild Democratic primaries, Donald Trump's embarrassing showing at the World Cup final, the deadly escalation of war with Iran, and a recent slate of ICE killings that show nothing has gotten better at the Department of Homeland Security — it's just gotten quieter.

Today's presenting sponsor is SimpliSafe Home Security. Most home security systems wait for a smashed window or a kicked-in door. That's already way too late. With SimpliSafe Active Guard Outdoor Protection, AI-powered cameras detect outside parties, and then a live agent intervenes to send them running before a break-in even begins. With SimpliSafe, you can customize your system to fit your needs. It's more than just a security camera. It's a comprehensive system of sensors, indoor and outdoor cameras, and 24/7 professional monitoring. The app-guided setup is simple, and there's no drilling required, so you can install and arm your system in under an hour.
