Why Mamdani’s Socialist Wing Has Democrats Spooked as SCOTUS Expands Trump’s Power

Got a question for Scott or Jessica? We're putting together a summer mailbag episode — send a short voice recording with your question to [email protected]. We may feature yours on the show!

Jessica Tarlov and Scott Galloway break down the latest escalation in Iran, and whether the Trump administration still has a coherent strategy in the Middle East with a ceasefire that is rapidly breaking down. 

Next, they unpack the major decisions coming out of the Supreme Court, including cases around mail-in ballots, the Temporary Protection Status of over 300,000 Haitians, and two opinions that further expand Trump’s authority to dismiss federal regulators (not including the Federal Reserve board of governors, apparently).

Plus, Scott and Jessica talk about Zohran Mamdani’s meteoric rise in the Democratic party, and his latest political win — a rent freeze for the rent-controlled apartments in New York City. What can we learn from the success of three DSA-affiliated and Mamdani-backed candidates in Congressional primaries? With antisemitism on the rise, and Democratic lawmakers facing threats and public confrontations, is Zohran’s politics putting more fuel on the fire? 

And, Scott and Jessica reflect on the career of Bill Maher, who received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
