It’s a New York primary-centric episode this week, with Rolling Stone’s Jack “Cros” Crosbie returning to the third chair to discuss:
Ranking New York City’s avenues and the darkness of Eighth Avenue
Zohran Mamdani going three for three with this Congressional primary endorsements
Some people who are mad about Tuesday: Democratic leadership, major loser Jaime Harrison, and Meghan McCain
Jack’s interview with Darializa Avila Chevalier in The Nation
What Tuesday’s wins mean for shifting power centers in New York, the strength of Mamdani’s political prowess, and what it says (and doesn’t say) about the Midterms and beyond
And in our subscribers-only After Dark segment, we dive into the FIVE-bylined enterprise reporting conducted by the New York Times on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s alleged wedding at Madison Square Garden next week
This week’s cultural recommendations:
Jack recommends the AIPAC-funded Darializa Avila Chevalier oppo-mailer, “Fuck Kamala Harris”
Cros recommends Love Island UK
Aleks recommends Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, now in theaters
