Zohran Mamdani was an unlikely frontrunner in New York’s mayoral election. His promise to make life more affordable for working-class New Yorkers, combined with his outspoken criticism of Israel’s crimes against the Palestinian people, earned him a powerful coalition of opponents who poured millions into defeating him.

As inequality deepens and dissent is punished, many are looking to new voices like Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist running for New York City mayor on a platform of rent freezes, free public transit, and taxing the rich. Can candidates like him revive the Democratic Party in the United States, or is real reform from within impossible?

Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of Drop Site News and one of the few Western reporters in regular contact with Hamas leaders, joins the show to discuss Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza, including Tuesday night airstrikes that killed over 100 people, 46 of them children, despite the so-called ceasefire. Scahill will discuss why Israel, with U.S. complicity, is trying to sabotage the agreement — and what it means for the ongoing genocide and the next phases of the “ceasefire.” José Luis Granados Ceja, Mexican journalist with Venezuela Analysis, joins the show to discuss the Trump administration’s escalating aggression toward Venezuela, including military strikes, B-52 bombers, warships, and deadly Caribbean attacks that have already killed 57 people. Luis explains the U.S. push for regime change, the capture of CIA-linked mercenaries by Venezuelan forces, and how the country is mobilizing its armed forces and Bolivarian Militia in response to mounting imperial threats.

From a classroom at the University of the South Pacific, a group of law students launched a global movement to take climate change to the International Court of Justice to save their islands from extinction. The students worked their way up from a small university to the international stage. As their campaign spreads and builds momentum across the world, they learn how to lobby ministers and ambassadors and experience the frustrations of diplomacy. They are driven by the hope of achieving their goal: to push through a historic resolution at the United Nations that will legally define the obligations of states to address climate change.

we examine the rise of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. A democratic socialist and outspoken critic of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Mamdani has faced a barrage of hostility from US mainstream media, the political donor class and the democratic establishment alike. The press has been particularly relentless, questioning not only Mamdani’s progressive policies but also his identity as a Muslim and an immigrant.

On Wednesday, Democrats released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate suggesting Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls — with Epstein calling Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked” and noting that an alleged victim had “spent hours at my house” with him. Just hours later, after months of stonewalling, House Republicans abruptly dumped 23,000 more pages of Epstein-related documents. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear will discuss how the revelations are fueling new questions about what Trump knew, why he stayed silent, and how far the fallout will reach. Nathan J. Robinson, editor in chief of Current Affairs, joins the show to discuss the Democrats’ latest stunning capitulation to Trump, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent joined Republicans to end the government shutdown — with zero meaningful concessions. The deal offers virtually nothing to Democrats and fails to extend key healthcare subsidies, setting the stage for millions to lose insurance and see premiums skyrocket. As outrage mounts and calls grow for Chuck Schumer’s resignation, Robinson will discuss how Democratic leadership once again folded to Trump and what that means for millions of Americans already on the brink.

Zohran Mamdani’s election as New York City mayor marks a significant advance for progressive politics, winning broad support despite a right-wing backlash, Islamophobic attacks, and red-baiting from both Republicans and the Democratic establishment. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss how his modest reforms like taxing billionaires slightly more, subsidizing groceries, and expanding public transit—policies designed to ease inequality without threatening capitalism— proposals triggered panic among elites. While the victory is significant, Puryear and Khalek emphasize the limits of reform within entrenched capitalist structures and the need for ongoing grassroots pressure to hold the administration accountable.

Dozens have been killed in U.S. airstrikes on boats off the Venezuelan and Colombian coasts. The Trump administration claims it’s targeting drug traffickers — but there’s no evidence. And now they’re threatening airstrikes inside Venezuela. U.S. warships now encircle Venezuela, joined by 10,000 troops and the Navy’s largest aircraft carrier. This is a war in slow motion, justified by recycled lies, CIA covert ops, and billionaire-backed propaganda.

The Trump administration is escalating toward full-scale war with Venezuela, with warships, B-52 bombers, and promises of land strikes, after already killing at least 57 fishermen in “extrajudicial assassinations,” says José Luis Granados Ceja, a Mexican journalist with Venezuela Analysis. He calls the U.S. a “rogue government acting with impunity” and stresses that a military invasion “will not be easy – they will not be welcomed as liberators as they tried to tell us with the same lies as they did with the invasion of Iraq.” Ceja discusses Venezuela’s mobilization of armed forces and the Bolivarian Militia, while regional solidarity movements insist, “We are not going to allow U.S. boots on our territories – full stop.”

break down Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s historic New York mayoral victory — a political earthquake that rattled billionaires, defied both parties, and energized millions demanding real change. They will discuss how Mamdani now faces threats not just from Trump and the far right, but from entrenched city institutions, a hostile bureaucracy, and pro-corporate Democrats — setting the stage for a showdown between New York and Washington’s ruling elite. Muhammad Shehada, Palestinian writer and analyst, joins the show to discuss Israel’s ongoing genocide and assault on Gaza, including the horrific rape of Palestinian hostages that mainstream media ignores, and the deadly continuation of airstrikes under the so-called ceasefire. He will discuss how Israel is using the “Yellow Line” to divide the Gaza Strip, impose proxy rule, restrict aid, and engineer permanent despair — with expulsion and entrenched control as the ultimate goal — as Trump claims a supposed “peace.”

Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of Drop Site News and one of the few Western reporters in regular contact with Hamas leaders, breaks down the Middle East’s shifting power dynamics and Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza, including Tuesday night airstrikes that killed over 100 people, 46 of them children, despite the so-called ceasefire. He details how Egypt and Turkey keep Hamas “severely weakened but not destroyed” to maintain leverage, while Saudi Arabia and the UAE quietly back Israel’s ongoing genocide, fearing Hamas inspires resistance at home. Scahill warns that Trump and Netanyahu have turned mass murder into “a business opportunity for imperial America,” showing how U.S. complicity, Arab state corruption, and Democratic Party silence allow Israel’s “war of annihilation” to continue under the guise of peace.
