After the unexpected victory of Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral primary, one question has emerged; is this the new model for Democrats.

The party has been listless without a clear vision or leader or message to voters and has begun to show cracks about what the future should look like.

Grant talks with Amanda Litman, Cofounder of Run For Something and author of When We're In Charge: The Next Generation's Guide To Leadership about what Democrats can learn from younger leaders, how the party has to adapt or die in the face of a second Trump presidency, and what we can all learn by embracing a new kind of leader.

Trump blows through his 90 deals in 90 days deadline, extending when he'd finally make good on threats to start tariffs to August 1.

But if he's the Deal Maker in Chief, then why would he need to extend the timeline?

Grant talks about the few deals that have been made, what's been happening in the meantime and what it'll mean for all of us when we go to buy things for the next few months.

With the passage of the Big Beautiful Bill, US immigration forces are getting a major boost in funding. A lot of it is going to ICE for new agents as enforcement increases in how militaristic it looks and acts. But most of the funding is going to building new places to hold immigrants before they're likely deported.

Grant breaks down how the money is being used, where it's coming from, and whether we can call what the Administration wants to create concentration camps, like some people have been saying.
