Are democrats finally focused on winning?

The fight over Trump's legacy is playing out everywhere this week — including in a reflecting pool full of hydrogen peroxide. On this episode of the Find Out Podcast, we break down the bizarre saga of the National Mall's "vandalized" reflecting pool, the no-bid contracts handed to a Trump donor with a felony record, and what this small scandal reveals about a much larger pattern of cronyism and superficiality. We also reflect on Trump's record itself — whether, after decades in public life, he's ever delivered anything of lasting good. Then we turn to the Middle East, examining the collapsing Iran deal, Netanyahu's outsized influence over American foreign policy, and reports that the administration may be quietly seeking a new Israeli government. We also explore the human cost of a green light to escalate, and what it means when U.S. backing becomes a blank check. In the back half, we dig into the midterms with a new Washington Post analysis showing a dramatic surge in Democratic turnout — including in deep-red districts — and make the case for why donating now matters far more than a check written the week before an election. We revisit the lessons of the 2008 wave, walk through a state-by-state Senate map, and confront the infighting threatening to undermine Democratic momentum before a single vote is cast. Plus, a spirited detour into Oasis versus Nickelback, the greatest guitarist of all time, and why some debates are better left unsettled.   Learn more about your ad choices.
