Show Notes
Is the Iran war over, or just beginning? Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès are joined by actress Ashlie Atkinson (The Gilded Age, BlacKkKlansman) and Arkansas congressional candidate Dr. Chris Jones for a wide-ranging conversation on draft talk, the Save America Act, and why the House majority could hinge on a state most people fly over. Plus: why Timothée Chalamet declaring opera dead reveals something nobody's talking about — and what the AIDS crisis has to do with it.
