| The Rational Policy Podcast is back with Episode 14, diving into the biggest stories of the week. Your hosts, Mike Coté and Art Vandelay, start off by returning to the well for a few updates on the issues we talked about on Episode 13 last week. First, we discuss the most recent version of the ‘No Enemies to the Left’ trend, the defense of Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner against a series of awful news stories, including gross Reddit comments and a literal Waffen-SS Nazi tattoo he had on his chest for nearly 20 years. Next, we give an update on the tenuous ceasefire deal in Gaza, breaking down where Hamas has violated the deal, how Israel has responded, and what may come next. After that, we stick to international affairs and touch on the ongoing war in Ukraine, how American diplomatic efforts have panned out (or not), and whether the Trump administration is moving in the right or wrong direction on this conflict. Finally, we spend some time detailing the recent No Kings protests across the country, talking about what they intended to accomplish, how big they really were, whether they will have a lasting impact, and how they speak to Democratic messaging in the age of Trump 2.0. Share Check it out, follow us on Twitter/X (Mike / Art), and share the podcast with anyone you think might appreciate it. Thanks for listening. Until next week! Rational Policy is free today.
