We break down what happened, the response so far, and whether this crosses the president's threshold for retaliation. Also in this episode: A new Washington Post poll shows a tightening generic congressional ballot, with Republicans leading on the economy and on the issues voters care about most. AOC and Bernie Sanders rallied in Detroit for Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, but the makeup of the crowd raised questions as El-Sayed and Haley Stevens compete for Black voters. We also look at reporting suggesting AOC was reading from campaign talking points. Twitch streamer Hasan Piker showed up to a College Democrats event dressed as Mao Zedong, and we discuss why the optics may not be an accident. In Maine, Ashley Webb stood out at the Senate debate, but the bigger story is that Democrats still don't have a clear frontrunner to challenge Susan Collins, as Shenna Bellows struggled to answer basic questions on stage. And the Hawaii Supreme Court issued a controversial opinion questioning the credibility of the US Supreme Court, citing the \"spirit of aloha\" over constitutional precedent.
