Plus, a tribute to Lindsey Graham's most heroic political moments and his surprising life story, why Ro Khanna says he's \"seriously\" considering a presidential run after a strange trip to Israel. And why the Israeli embassy is asking questions after being left out of coordination that Palestinian activists were reportedly part of. Also in this episode: a Texas hospital under fire for advertising discounted birth packages across the border in Mexico — a tax-exempt facility seemingly promoting birth tourism on the taxpayer's dime. And a new campaign fighting what critics are calling the \"Jamie Dimon Tax,\" as rumors swirl that a new open banking rule could drop this week. All the news that matters, in 10 minutes or less.
