Tulsi Gabbard's Country w/ Mike Prysner *bonus*

David and Matt announce the nominees for the Left Reckoning Bum Steer Awards for 2025.

Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner joins us to talk about his run for Senate. Maine, far right hate, military contracting, healthcare and more.Also, Jasmine Crockett feels misrepresented by critics. Has she been?

David breaks down the Texas Senate primary for the democrats, as Colin Allred drops out and Jasmine Crockett jumps in. Can either Crockett or Talarico turn sizzle into substance? Also universities are under a generational reactionary attack and need to start acting like it.Watch: https://www.youtube.com/live/tO0TH3Beoyc?si=yl7W1KYT8OyYwgcR
