I talk to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about why she's running for Congress, how her personal story as a child of Puerto Rican parents influenced her politics, what she's running for and why her opponent, who writes op-eds about his Irish America pride, accuses her of making the election "about race." Plus she talks about the amazing candidates being supported and recruited by Justice Democrats, Brand New Congress, and Democratic Socialists of America. Gabe & and I talk about Anthony Bourdain, his hatred of Henry Kissinger, and his commitment to social justice and human rights not just for "Americans" but for... wait for it... Palestinians. And Gabe and I talk about another tragic suicide: Marco Antonio Muñoz who died in a Texas jail after being separated from his wife and three-year-old son. The family had fled Honduras after the wife's brother had been killed. The apparent suicide (though it's not clear he wasn't killed) sheds light on the new zero tolerance policy around immigration. How much of a departure is Trump from other presidents on immigration, though? Alexandria and I discuss this in the bonus episode.

https://zephyrforny.com/ Legal scholar, activist, and Berniecrat Zephyr Teachout shocked the NY and the country when she came close to defeating Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for governor of New York. Now she's running for Attorney General. And she plans to sue Donald Trump over his conflict of interest as a business man. Zephyr also talks about neoliberalism, why the Dems need to be on offense, not defense, and why "it's time for a new 21st century trust-busting."

Bonus: https://www.patreon.com/posts/aaron-mate-on-19418558 Aaron Maté talks to me about Trump's collusion... with Israel, why there isn't an #IsraelGate, why everything you thought you knew about #Russiagate is wrong, how the Russiagate narrative emboldens Trump, undermines #TheTheResistance and protects the privileges of the political elites. Plus what's the deal with Robert Mueller's suits and Democrats being as hawkish as John Bolton?

I spoke to Kara Eastman the day after she won her primary against Blue Dog Democrat Brad Ashford in Nebraska's congressional second district. Ashford, a former Republican who likes to "govern from the Center" and has an anti-choice record, was endorsed by The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC). What's more surprising, kinda, is that Kara Eastman, who is openly pro-choice wasn't endorsed by a single high profile pro-choice organization. The only pro-choice organization to endorse her was Vote Pro Choice. The silence of groups like NARAL, Planned Parenthood and Emily's List is especially frustrating, given that they vocally opposed Heath Mello, the Democrat who ran for mayor of Omaha, because of his anti-choice record, which was better than Ashford's, and despite his promise to be a pro-choice mayor. Not to mention that mayor's have less influence on abortion than members of congress. But I digress.
