Episode El-Sayed Wins Michigan (Barely) — What It Means for Progressives
Abdul El-Sayed just won the most expensive Democratic Senate primary in U.S. history — and it wasn't the blowout progressives expected. Tim, Zak, Luke, and Rich break down the county-by-county map, why El-Sayed dominated college towns and the Upper Peninsula but didn’t do enough with black voters in Detroit, and what it all says about the divide between democratic socialism and old-school "show up and deliver" politics (with a detour into Ossoff, Mamdani, and why capitalism isn't the enemy — it's the engine). Then: RFK Jr. gets torched by Dana Bash, the crew rips into anti-vax logic using the "everyone dying wore a seatbelt" argument, and a disgraced North Carolina congressman's texts about a staffer's outfits get read out loud (guns as gifts — yes, really).
