Democrats need to stop being ‘boring’ (with Jack Schlossberg) | The Conversation

Jack Schlossberg joins Dasha to talk about his campaign for New York’s 12th congressional district, his viral online persona and why he thinks Democrats need to be more “controversial” in the Trump era.  Schlossberg discusses what he says Democrats got wrong in 2024, why he believes attention is political power, how the party can reach young male voters, and why he sees himself as part of a new generation trying to change Democratic politics. He also weighs in on his Kennedy family legacy, RFK Jr., Israel and Gaza, impeachment, super PAC spending, and why he says he has “no regrets” about anything he’s posted online.

Versailles, Vance, and the Iran Deal

The G7 summit has wrapped and Trump signed the Iran MOU at the Palace of Versailles — yes, that Versailles. Politico’s Myah Ward was on the ground at the G7 all week and shares how much Iran and the U.S. dominated conversation at the summit. Plus, not all Republicans are  happy with the MOU and some are pointing blame at JD Vance for a bad deal. And across the Atlantic, Britain may get its seventh prime minister in a decade.

Who is really winning in the Iran deal?

President Donald Trump is expected to speak later this morning, likely touting the Iran agreement. This comes after Bloomberg published an unconfirmed draft of the memorandum that raises some serious questions. Later today, Fed Chair Kevin Warsh will preside over his first Open Market Committee meeting, where news will likely paint a less than peachy vision of high inflation rates. Speaking of peaches, Georgia’s runoff results mean a Rep. Mike Collins v. Sen. Jon Ossoff showdown come November. And finally, Jay Clayton heads to a confirmation hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee, less than a week after lawmakers formally received his nomination to serve as director of national intelligence.
