Who’s at the Wheel? The Roberts Memos, the War, and the President’s Mental State

We spent Tuesday’s episode talking about headline national and global news, and it felt pretty bleak. Today, we’re zooming in on a bright spot, New York City, and asking what we can learn from Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he crosses the first-100-days milestone. Mamdani was hailed as a unique political talent on the campaign trail. We’re interested in how that star power translates to political power and how the Mayor has pivoted from campaign to service. His initial path tells a compelling story about what Democratic Socialism might mean in practice and where the dividing lines actually are in the Democratic Party. Any way around it, Mayor Mamdani’s “pothole politics” are a stark and welcome contrast to what we see in Washington D.C.

Outside of politics, we consider the call for parents to hold hands and agree that we’ll all do less together. From Maycember sprawl to spirit week standards to the charcuterization of everything, we sort out what we’re doing and why. -Beth

Topics Discussed:


Zohran Mamdani’s 100 Days: Pothole Politics and What Democratic Socialism Looks Like in Practice


The Affordability + Corruption + Service Formula — A Democratic Blueprint?


Navigating the Coalition: Mamdani, Trump, Hochul, and the Art of Getting Things Done


Outside of Politics: Maycember and the Case for Parents to Just… Stop
