News from the point of view of a queer Black Midwestern man. This week, we’re breaking down the escalating war in Iran, the political fallout at home, and the congressional testimony happening quietly in the background.

In this episode, we examine the growing war in Iran — a conflict most Americans do not support. We discuss the long-term consequences of another Middle East war, the financial cost, the human cost, and the level of suffering leadership appears willing to tolerate. Congress has effectively given the president permission to move forward, and even some former MAGA voices are calling the Iran operation anti-American.

Reports from the region suggest that American missiles may have killed more than 100+ girls at an Iranian school. We talk about what this means for global perception, national security, and the moral weight of U.S. foreign policy decisions.

Meanwhile, depositions continue in Washington. The Clintons are testifying before Congress, addressing questions about their alleged connections to Epstein. Why does Hilary Clinton have to take the blame for the egregious behaviors of rich, powerful, violent men? Clock it, tea sippers.
