JD Vance treads water on Iran, D.C. swan dives into Reflecting Pool chaos, and Trump lifts a glass to his brand-new Air Force One. This week, Matt Hamilton stops by to discuss local journalism, the L.A. mayoral race, and, of course, a plague of fire rats. Ali Siddiq and Ify Nwadiwe find out if Father really does know best with a round of Would You Rather?, and we have regrets like we’ve never had them before when we share our many, many Second Thoughts.
