This hour, Newell addresses Claire Valdez, a New York congressional nominee and Democratic Socialist, facing intense right-wing backlash and calls for a federal State Department investigation after disclosing a meeting with members of Morena, Mexico's ruling left-wing political party. Then, media and cultural analyst Kaivan Shroff joins the show to discuss the White House’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, the lawsuit those news organizations have now filed, and the workforce training helping prepare young people for careers.
