Closing in on 100 episodes! This one is pretty packed. I'm sick, so the editing is haphazard. We talk about Hamza Yusuf working with the Trump Administration, then we go on to discuss the outcome of Pittsburgh's mayoral primary and why a forceful stance on Gaza should be a litmus test for progressive politicians. We close by briefly discussing the shooting that happened in DC last week, and unexpectedly veer into an update on The West Wing. PLEASE leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to our show!
