With all the exciting sports this week, it's almost possible to forget politics. (Which is probably good for our health!) But The Trump Show doesn’t stop, and our great panel covers that and more.

Nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein says President Truman didn't know there was a second A Bomb. But after Nagasaki he takes control of nuclear weapons. And for a moral reason. Morality, a concept foreign to our current President.

Truman's “tough” decision to drop the A Bomb is key to his legacy. But in his new book, historian Alex Wellerstein reveals it's not a decision that Truman actually made. The Military made the bomb, and they were going to use it.

Trump says Iran must promise never to have a nuke. But Iran's been promising that for years. The problem: What the hell is a “promise?” It’s not a treaty, it’s not verifiable. Nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein exposes the BS.

Trump is desperate for an Iran deal. But his constantly shifting irrational delusions make it almost impossible for Iran to trust the United States to make a deal that WE will honor over time. Historian Alex Wellerstein explains.

We should be worried that Trump's finger is on the Nuclear button. The historian of Nuclear Power, Alex Wellerstein, says the Trump Administration has ceded the Moral High Ground on Nuclear Weapons. One more guardrail shattered.

While I’m off to attend my grandkids’ graduations, all thanks to Ginger, Shirish, Jessica and Allan for making sense of the week’s news. It’s hard to keep up but these great journalists provide clarity, insight and analysis.

How do Democrats look back as well as forward in 2026? By turning the corruption of Trump and his cronies into a kitchen table issue. Frame it as how Trump and the GOP are coddling billionaires and causing pain for the rest of us.

David Rothkopf has covered enough corrupt regimes around the world to know one when he sees one right here at home. He nails the “Trump Crime Family.”

One of the institutions we thought would keep up the guardrails against Trump’s lawlessness was the U.S. Military. Foreign Policy expert David Rothkopf says they have failed.

You know that old trope from Horror Films? “The danger is coming from inside the house!” Well, in the Horror Film we’ve been living through, it comes from inside the WHITE House. As David Rothkopf explains.

This man knows what he is talking about: host of the Deep State Radio podcast. Chief Global Affairs Columnist at the Daily Beast and former editor of Foreign Policy Magazine. He cuts through the BS from Trump and Hegseth.

"How pathetic. So how did Trump reward Cornyn for sucking up to him for 10 years? He stabbed him in the back. Cornyn got just what he deserved." And James Talarico is getting just what we wanted. Nice job, genius.

Lamar Alexander says if you want to accomplish something truly transformative, elected office can give you the power to do so. And in his new book, he encourages young people to go into politics. There are rewards, he promises. bit.ly/Click-2-Listen YouTu.be/oYwa2exN5Rw

I pressed former Tennessee Senator and Governor Lamar Alexander on whether politics have gotten such a bad reputation that young people will not choose public service. He has an optimistic answer from his new book.

.@SenAlexander was in the Senate for Trump’s first Impeachment. He did not vote to convict. He was not there for the second Impeachment, but it’s pretty clear he’d have voted to convict on the J6 insurrection.
