Swalwell resigns in disgrace; Kamala Harris’s Trump impression; Wes Moore and the Streisand Effect

from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

On today’s episode of the 10 Minute Drill, we break down the biggest political developments shaping the moment—from rising global tensions to mounting pressure inside the Democratic Party. New details emerge on the failed Iran negotiations, including a list of strict U.S. red lines that ultimately derailed a deal. As concerns grow over mines in the Strait of Hormuz and energy markets react, the question remains: is no deal better than a bad deal? Back home, the fallout surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell continues to intensify. A House Ethics investigation is gaining momentum, with vulnerable Democrats urging leadership to act quickly. But as the party looks for alternatives, questions are already surfacing about who might step in—and whether they bring baggage of their own. We take a closer look at the growing scrutiny surrounding Rep. Katie Porter, as well as new reporting putting Maryland Governor Wes Moore under pressure over transparency concerns tied to his background—raising fresh questions as 2028 speculation begins to take shape. Plus: Kamala Harris fuels early 2028 chatter and elicits some laughs, and Zohran Mamdani is hit with backlash over ambitious promises colliding with fiscal reality. All that and more in today’s fast-paced rundown. 0:00 - Intro  0:39 - Iran Redlines 3:05 - Latest Iran Polling 5:23 - Swalwell Resigns 8:31 - Wes Moore’s Shady Servie 12:58 - Kamala’s Trump Impersination 14:14 - Zohran’s Mess
