Note sull'episodio
We unpack Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral win and its strategic implications, dissect Canada’s 2025 budget (programs intact, public-sector cuts, and a measurable center-right fiscal turn), review the U.S. shutdown endgame (why caving erases your case), and challenge the legitimacy of floor crossing in a system where party labels appear on the ballot. Plus: Miss Rachel’s Gaza tribute as a model for holding hope without anesthetizing action.
