单集简介 ...

A very tired-looking Vice President JD Vance emerged from 21 hours of high-stakes peace talks on Sunday to say no deal has been made to end the Iran war — a failure that comes with serious economic and political consequences. It’s an election year, and Congressional Republicans are getting jumpy with their majorities on the line. So, to help unpack what all of this means for the midterms, we spoke with Daniella Diaz. She’s a reporter covering politics and Congress for NOTUS. And in headlines, JD Vance strikes out in Hungary, Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell suspends his campaign for Governor of California, and the Artemis II crew returns safely to Earth.

  • Yeah, janky's right.

  • It's a janky version right now.

  • May I curse, Mrs. Obama?

  • You may.

  • Yeah, shit is jank right now.

  • It's super jank.

  • I can't disagree.

  • Things are super jank.

  • On today's show, Vice President J.D. Vance strikes out in both Pakistan and Hungary.

  • And the crew of the Artemis II hits a home run with their return to Earth.

  • But let 's start with the Iran war and how President Donald Trump's failure to wrap it up is making Republicans very,

  • very nervous about the upcoming midterms.

  • On the day he was sworn in, Trump gave us a very clear way to judge his second term.

  • We will measure our success not only by the battles we win,
