It's all fun and eating cats until 33 bomb threats are called into a single town. Springfield has been reeling since JD Vance and Donald Trump made it the center of their racist anti-immigrant crusade. Author Talia Lavin joins to talk about how what the Haitian migrants have been subjected to is none other than pogram-like tactics: lies then violence. Then, Nation journalist Sarah Lazare joins to talk about Kamala Harris refusing to break from Biden's genocide-enabling policies, and the latest IDF murder of a protester in the West Bank. This time an American, Aysenur Eygi, who was doing the most brave of actions and bearing witness to Israeli settler and army violence. Then a round of "Loomey Tunes" with Trump's latest "it" girl, Temu Melania, conspiracy Karen, Laura Loomer.
