In today’s podcast, I’m diving into everything from the ongoing TikTok ban drama and how it feels like political theater to the criticism surrounding Karen Bass’s leadership during the Los Angeles fires. I’m also touching on how climate change is making life harder for all of us—Texas heat waves, wildfires, and even tornadoes in December—and why we can’t just blame local leaders for global crises. Plus, I have some thoughts on the performative antics in Congress and why we need serious people in serious times. Let’s get into it!
