We break down what the Mamdani machine means for Democrats, Israel, immigration, and the future of the progressive left. Then, we look overseas as Britain’s post-Brexit political chaos continues and populism rises again across the Western Hemisphere. Finally, SCOTUS hands Trump two major immigration wins, Bishop Barron calls out the collapse of liberal Catholic moral theology, and the Twilight Zone delivers a DEI trash-can scandal you couldn’t invent in a lab. All this and more on the LOOPcast!
