  • What Platner’s Exit Means for the Future of the Democratic Party (ft. Brian Tyler Cohen)

    What Platner’s Exit Means for the Future of the Democratic Party (ft. Brian Tyler Cohen)
    Jul 9 2026
    Jessica Tarlov is joined by Brian Tyler Cohen, host of No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen, and author of the new book The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World. They start with Graham Platner, who is bowing out of the Maine Senate race following a sexual assault allegation after a scandal-ridden campaign. In his exit video, Platner blamed the Democratic political establishment for taking the nomination away from him. How does the Democratic Party move forward in Maine to field a new candidate? The U.S. and Iran have renewed aggression, trading strikes for a second consecutive night, with Trump declaring the three-week-old ceasefire officially "over." Jessica and Biran break down what this means for the administration’s foreign policy, and how recent reactions to spiking oil prices reveal some Republican Party hypocrisies. Then, they discuss the resurgence of ICE operations, which led to the fatal shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national with four young U.S. citizen children. Does this mean we are heading toward another escalation of enforcement violence like what was seen in Minneapolis? Then, Jessica talks with Brian about his new book, The Day After, and his ideas for the future of the Democratic party. What should “Project 2029” look like? Which parts of the government that Trump has dismantled are the most underappreciated — and where are there opportunities to build something better?

  • Platner Bombshell Throws Democrats Into Chaos

    Platner Bombshell Throws Democrats Into Chaos
    Jul 7 2026
    How can progressives govern effectively in a post-Trump America? Join Jessica Tarlov in conversation with Brian Tyler Cohen on Thursday, 7/9 at 11:45AM. Sign up here: links.profgmedia.com/btclive Jessica Tarlov is joined by The Bulwark’s Sam Stein, and they start in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has announced he is taking time to reflect after a rape allegation went public. They discuss the logistics of possibly replacing the scandal-ridden Platner on the ballot — and mention a few possible candidates — while also asking the important question: how could the party vetting process have failed so miserably? Plus: what is the condition of former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized for weeks, with minimal information? Will there be a special election for his seat — and will the recently-primaried Kentuckyan Thomas Massie take an interest? And in Michigan, Mallory McMorrow has dropped out of the Senate race, leaving moderate Haley Stevens — backed by Chuck Schumer — facing off against progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed — backed by Bernie Sanders and AOC — in the Democratic primary. Rahm Emanuel is visiting Israel this week and pre-released his speech, signaling shifting sentiment on Israel within the Democratic Party. And finally: Did Trump’s brazen act of intervention with FIFA president Gianni Infantino to overturn a striker’s suspension wind up cursing the U.S. men’s soccer team?

  • Trump's Election Plot Gets More Dangerous as His World Cup Intervention Leaves Everyone Stunned

    Trump's Election Plot Gets More Dangerous as His World Cup Intervention Leaves Everyone Stunned
    Jul 7 2026
    Jessica Tarlov is joined by Marc Elias, America's foremost election attorney and founder of Democracy Docket, to talk about the recent Supreme Court term, Trump’s efforts at voter suppression, the throughline of corruption in the administration, and more. First, they discuss Trump's rain-delayed America 250th speech, which he delivered late Saturday night in D.C., after severe thunderstorms forced crowds to shelter in nearby federal buildings. Trump used the moment to push for the passage of the SAVE America Act, a bill he claims would end election fraud — and, saying the quiet part out loud, deliver Republicans 100 years of victories. Marc breaks down what the bill actually does, and why Trump is still pushing it hard enough to torpedo the housing bill in its favor. Then, Marc reflects on two Supreme Court cases that he helped litigate — he scored a significant victory in Watson v. RNC — a case to determine the legality of certain mail-in ballots. But the Court’s ruling in NRSC v. FEC, which struck down coordination limits between political parties and campaigns, is a major blow. Why did this Supreme Court so readily overturn precedent in this case? Marc gives his thoughts about potential reforms needed to safeguard the legitimacy of the Supreme Court as an institution. And, the confusion about the health of Senator Mitch McConnell, coming so soon after the monthslong disappearance (and sudden reemergence) of Rep. Thomas Kean, leads Jessica and Marc to talk about how to better “keep track” of members of Congress. Finally, Trump claims he personally lobbied FIFA president Gianni Infantino to intervene in the automatic red card suspension for U.S. striker Folarin Balogun, clearing him to play against Belgium in today's World Cup last-16 match. What is the appropriate patriotic response to this intervention?
