from 10 Minute Drill · host Matt Whitlock

It’s been another crazy week around the nation! Catch up on the top stories you might’ve missed from the past week. 1. Wisconsin’s election results are in—and there’s plenty to unpack. We break down the Wisconsin election, polling errors, David Crowley’s record, and what Republicans got right in educating voters about the Democratic candidates. 2. Examine Abdul El-Sayed’s decision to remove more than 100 YouTube videos from his past, including commentary on the Second Amendment, border security, July 4th fireworks, and football. 3. Despite their inability to function for their established purpose, the UN is good for something! We examine UN Women’s terminology surrounding the “manosphere” as defined by the UN Women website. 4. As the DSA grows, so does their appetite for revenge politics. But do they even know what their policy ideas look like outside of the simple top line messaging? 5. California’s high-speed rail boondoggle continues to rack up massive costs. With billions already spent and the project facing serious funding concerns, we examine why critics are calling it another example of government waste.
