What listeners will find here

Democrats’ big night came down to one thing: people are tired of paying too much
The midterms turned into a Democratic wave, and Bomani Jones argues the real driver was affordability. From gas and coffee to tariffs and rent, he says voters were done with culture-war politics and wanted relief from rising costs.
Shedeur, Caleb and chaos: the NFL’s quarterback mess gets weird
Shedeur Sanders gets a Browns start, and the episode digs into whether that opportunity helps or hurts everyone involved. From Caleb Williams’ rise to the Ravens’ quarterback crisis and the Chargers’ Herbert problem, Bomani and Diante Lee map out a league full of pressure, noise and bad options.
