We Down, But We Not Up

Pardon the Politics

NATO wrapped up its Ankara summit claiming unity, but only 5 of 32 members are on pace to meet the new defense spending target, and nobody can say what "winning" in Ukraine actually looks like. Jeezy, Manny, and Chuck break down the real numbers, Trump's clashes with Spain and the UK, and the Greenland push that won't die.

Plus: Graham Platner's Maine Senate campaign implodes, and the Democratic Party scrambles toward a special convention. Breaking news hits mid-record, an update on Sen. Mitch McConnell's health, and the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham at 71. This week's pickle of the week: Rep. Ro Khanna gets surrounded by armed settlers in the West Bank, and it raises a bigger question about U.S.-Israel accountability. And three spotlights: a housing bill that became law without Trump's signature, the gutting of the Election Assistance Commission ahead of the midterms, and a fatal ICE shooting in Houston.
