Excellent. I am watching with my coffee, and am finding you and Terry so engaging. Let them eat Ozempic is outrageous—especially when the cheaper version is to be bought through Trumps pharmacy or what it is disguised as one, and the one who profits—Trump and his family. Sick! Love it when failing ceos get massive rages. That is sarcastic. I am very pro-Mandami, who is just expanding programs that already exist in NY. And, he does have dreams beyond affordability for NYC.
Loved the notion that the men and women CEO's coming out of the Depression or WWII would feel SHAME at earning so much more than the workers on the floors of their companies: so maybe we need a new kind of institutionalized shared common experience so that the sacred feeling of kinship with and responsibility towards our fellow man cannot be lost.
And, I would like to add he reminds me of JFK. I have been watching the conspiracy & politics themed TCM films, namely 1973 Executive Action (so pertinent to today) and want to say Mandami does represent that kind of dreaming: JFK, not Trump’s worship of the trappings of wealth. And, everybody must remember the big dreams that made America prosperous in the postwar era grew in colleges, in education, which is being utterly unmade by the terrible people in the White House.

Love the last segment of this conversation from both Anand and Terry. “America is still Americaning.”
All liquor stores in Oregon are govt run.
Affordability (with emphasis on household electric bills) as a winning message. https://newrepublic.com/article/202838/democrats-just-realized-winning-climate-message?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=tnr_daily
Plundering the Treasury & exploding the national debt for the benefit of the Great Gatsby/Epstein class...Trump's idea of "affordability.”
Trump's tone deaf depravity: “So I don’t wanna hear about the affordability. We’re getting close to $2 a gallon gasoline...Now we have virtually no inflation at all … so the affordability is much better with the Republicans.” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/business/trump-administration-tax-breaks-wealthy.html?smid=url-share
Get up stand up & resist the fraudster authoritarians. Vote Blue!
Cultural suicide. I like that. How am I supposed to speak to my brother-in-law at Thanksgiving? He is a maga republican from whereelse Texas.
Immigration should not be controversial! Look at Trump, Vance—who are their wives? Not that I have any admiration for them.

I have not watched and listened to this yet, I’m hoping that part of what gets discussed is how much success Democrats had in this election cycle
