We're back with our weekly chat and zero solutions to anything. We get into the Graham Platner mess in Maine (the Blackwater past, the New York Times exposé, the ex-girlfriend allegations), make the case that AOC is quietly building something bigger than anyone realizes, and watch Trump completely lose it on Kristen Welker over the 2020 election.
Plus: Hunter Biden's chaotic-good redemption tour, why Wisconsin farmers are getting crushed, and the THC-drink loophole that's about to close. Also Emily is refinishing a dining table and Kate is paneling a wall, because we contain multitudes.
