Zachary Karabell of The Progress Network and the What Could Go Right podcast lays out a case for “edgy optimism,” highlighting under-covered wins in medicine, education, and public policy. From New Mexico’s universal childcare to gene therapies for sickle cell disease, he argues the problem isn’t a lack of progress—it’s our inability to notice. Plus, a new U.S. ad from Benjamin Netanyahu adapts the famous Talmudic credo “Rise and Kill First” into something just a little more TV-friendly. And in the spiel: Trump’s gray, soggy military parade gets upstaged by a vibrant “No Kings” protest.

Veeeeery busy day for us at the Majority Report today, with a new front of Israel's military rampage opening up with Iran, Donald Trump holding what turned out to be a rinky dinky military parade, political assassinations in Minnesota, No Kings protests across the country, and AOC and Zohran holding a joint rally in NYC. We get to all of that today, plus a great interview with Stephen Wertheim from the American Statecraft Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Israel's provocations against Iran and how to parse out Trump's strategy (if we can even call it that). Follow Stephen on X here: https://x.com/stephenwertheim In the Fun Half, AOC takes the stage to a huge crowd at her joint rally with Zohran Mamdani and points out that many of the establishment Dems who called for Cuomo's resignation as governor are now lining up behind his run for mayor. She says this is just one more reason why the country needs to turn the page on the gerontocracy currently at the helm of both major parties. Republican Senator Mike Lee irresponsibly tweets out that the Minnesota gunman who shot four people killing two of them, including a Democratic state lawmaker of being a Marxist, while his roommate says he was a regular listener of Alex Jones' Infowars who was a Trump supporter. Tim Pool weighs in to the new war Israel has launched against Iran and what Donald Trump's role might have been. But boy does it seem like he has stacked his panel with a bunch of people who will make points on his behalf so he can avoid going on the record during such a sensitive matter. Netanyahu on the other hand is trying to justify why he's provoked a war with Iran by telling Americans that he's doing it for our safety. CNN for it's part points out that Iran has targeted Mossad's HQ, which is right in the middle of a highly populated part of Tel Aviv. Does that sound familiar?

In contrast to the saddest military junta parade in history, millions of patriotic people took to the streets on Saturday to defend American values and principles against Trump. But the deflated birthday boy now wants to ramp up the militarization of our largest cities on a completely partisan basis to achieve his mass deportation. Meanwhile, folks on the right are showing a vicious irresponsibility about the assassination in Minnesota—Mike Lee in particular should have his head examined since he's showing a complete disregard for the truth. Plus, Terry Moran discusses his firing from ABC, his truth-telling about Stephen Miller, and how Trump is mean, but not that tough.

In the waning decades of the Soviet Union, abortion was the main form of birth control. For example, official statistics from the late 1970s report that there were 250-270 abortions per 100 live births. It’s an astounding number. It points to a key paradox of state socialism and reproductive health: Abortion in the USSR was widely available, but mainly because the state couldn’t provide basic contraceptives. But the collapse of the Soviet system didn’t produce many remedies–Women now had access to contraception, but the economic ravages of the 1990s led many families to postpone childbearing. Abortion numbers remained high to begin lowering in the last two decades. How has the Russian government and civil society addressed abortion, contraception, family planning and women’s reproductive rights and health? What role has Western feminism and the debate over abortion played in Russia? And where do the increasing restrictions of abortion in Russia fit within the worldwide struggle for women’s reproductive freedom? The Eurasian Knot posed these questions and more to Michele Rivkin-Fish in this timely and crucial issue in her new book, Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture : Family Planning and the Struggle for a Liberal Biopolitics published by Vanderbilt University Press. Guest: Michele Rivkin-Fish is Associate Professor of Anthropology at UNC-Chapel Hill. Her research examines reproductive politics in Soviet and post-Soviet Russia. She’s the author of Women’s Health in Post-Soviet Russia: The Politics of Intervention . Her most recent book is Unmaking Russia’s Abortion Culture: Family Planning and the Struggle for a Liberal Biopolitics is published by Vanderbilt University Press. Send us your sounds!

A hotel for Thatcher’s fallen soldiers in the Falkland Islands. A hospital for Rikers inmates. A home for workers in the offshore fossil fuel industry. These are just a few of the past lives of “Jascon 27” – a Scandinavian ship that is the subject of writer Ian Kumekawa’s new book, Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge . The Vessel is, of course, a ship that transports people and goods. But, as journalist Atossa Araxia Abrahamian notes, and Kumekawa’s book reveals, it is also a bellwether of political movements and economic shifts, and a symbol of “the whims and desires” of corporations, nations, and individuals alike. Abrahamian wrote about Empty Vessel in the latest issue of The Nation . She’s an independent journalist who writes about the cracks within nation-states worldwide. She is also a former editor at The Nation and Al Jazeera America , and author of The Cosmoplites: The Coming of the Global Citizen and The Hidden Globe .

In this deeply personal episode, Sahil Bloom joins Ryan Sean Adams to explore what it truly means to be wealthy and why so many high achievers get it wrong. After hitting burnout, Ryan stepped away from the grind to reassess his definition of success. What he found was a framework that reframed his entire life: the Five Types of Wealth. Together, they unpack why net worth alone is a poor scoreboard, how to avoid the trap of “never enough,” and what it means to build time, social, mental, physical, and financial wealth in harmony. This conversation is both a blueprint and a reboot, for anyone chasing more, and wondering why it still doesn’t feel like enough. ------ 📣SPOTIFY PREMIUM RSS FEED | USE CODE: SPOTIFY24 https://bankless.cc/spotify-premium ------ BANKLESS SPONSOR TOOLS: 🪙FRAX | SELF SUFFICIENT DeFi https://bankless.cc/Frax 🦄UNISWAP | SWAP ON UNICHAIN https://bankless.cc/unichain 🛞MANTLE | MODULAR LAYER 2 NETWORK https://bankless.cc/Mantle 🌐CELO | BUILD TOGETHER AND PROSPER https://bankless.cc/Celo 🟠 BINANCE | THE WORLDS #1 CRYPTO EXCHANGE https://bankless.cc/binance ------ TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 3:22 Measuring Wealth 6:10 Beyond Net Worth 13:29 Burnout Moment 15:47 The Cost of Misaligned Effort 25:47 The Five Types of Wealth 27:47 Wealth Isn’t Swappable 34:05 Freedom Starts With Defining “Enough” 43:09 The “Enough” Excuse 47:31 Why We Feel Time-Starved 50:09 Digital Distractions and Overcommitment 55:46 The Two-List Exercise 57:38 The Morning ‘Boot Up’ Sequence 1:03:30 Reinvesting in Your Closest People 1:10:19 Too Busy to Connect 1:12:23 The Mental Wealth 1:14:11 The Life Razor 1:18:26 The Physical Wealth 1:24:40 Staying on Plan 1:25:56 Grounded Success 1:27:56 High Agency People 1:29:03 Closing ------ RESOURCES Sahil https://x.com/SahilBloom Sahil’s Blog https://sahilbloom.substack.com/ The 5 Types of Wealth https://www.the5typesofwealth.com/ RSA Reboot https://x.com/RyanSAdams/status/1915115437505049055 ------ Not financial or tax advice.

We’re nearly six months into Donald Trump’s second term as president, and a lot of us are still trying to figure out what that actually means. Not just politically. But culturally. What kind of country are we living in? And what kind of future are we heading toward? In today’s episode, Sean and Vox senior correspondent Zack Beauchamp try to answer these difficult questions. They discuss Trump’s successes and failures, how he appeals to his supporters, and how the left can respond to the Trump administration.

Somehow, the American consumer remains quite strong. Despite higher interest rates, tariffs, general economic uncertainty and so forth, people are continuing to spend. And yet there are some pockets of weakness that you can observe, especially if you look at delinquency data for various types of credit. But even here the patterns aren’t totally obvious, as it doesn’t break down nicely among prime vs. non-prime borrowers. But there is one important divide: Do you have a ZIRP-era mortgage or not? According to Morgan Stanley housing strategist Jim Egan, there is a massive difference in how strained people are for those who locked in their housing costs prior to 2021 vs. those who didn’t. People with ZIRP-era mortgages are benefiting from low stable payments (which have declined on a real basis), as well as broad equity accumulation. Those who didn’t are much more strained in their finances. We discuss how this is playing out, as well as the state of the housing market more broadly, which has seen rising inventories, and the possibility for an overall downturn in prices nationwide.

In honor of Father’s Day, stories of sons and daughters finding out the one thing they've always wanted to know about their father. The answers aren't always what they’d hoped for. Visit thisamericanlife.org/lifepartners to sign up for our premium subscription. Prologue: As a kid, Aric Knuth sent cassette tapes to his dad, a merchant marine gone for months at a time. He’d leave one side blank and ask for a reply—but none ever came. Aric talks to Ira Glass about what it was like to finally ask his dad why. (7 minutes) Act One: Lennard Davis was always told to avoid his no-good Uncle Abie. After his father died, Abie claimed he was actually Lenny’s biological father via artificial insemination. At first, the story seemed possible, then doubtful. It took Lenny more than 20 years to sort out whether it was true, and he finds out the answer—definitively—as tape is rolling. (31 minutes) Act Two: Paul Tough’s father was a mild-mannered professor—until he suddenly left the family to pursue a lifelong quest: making contact with extraterrestrial life. For the first time, Paul joins him and asks the questions he’s long kept to himself about his father’s alien pursuits.
