Description

This week, an awful terrorist attack in Istanbul seemed to trigger less than the usual amount of Facebook sympathy, but the same amount of enthusiasm for torture from Donald Trump.

Democratic congressional candidate Zephyr Teachout cruised to victory in the New York primary election -- will the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee get her back in the general? We'll ask Zephyr Teachout herself.

Congress took off on recess without doing anything significant on gun control -- have Democrats missed their window? And why doesn't anyone ever talk about the number one type of gun death? We'll ask Democratic Senator Chris Murphy.

Finally, what's the deal with everyone loving Alexander Hamilton so much? Historian William Hogeland joins us to explain why Hamilton is SO overrated. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy
