Michael Cohen is somehow back in President Trump’s orbit—and we’re here for all of it.
Matt Whitlock, Melissa DeRosa, and I broke down this unlikely reunion on “2WAY Tonight,” along with Jason Kelce’s distaste for data centers and plenty more.
We asked whether Darline Graham’s coronation came a little too early—and whether yesterday’s debate could reopen the race.
Melissa argued that “purity without power is performance art,” reminding us that winning a primary is not the same as winning a general election—and that primary victories don’t make policy. She also declared, “Hasan Piker is a cancer on the Democratic Party,” as Moskowitz’s victory was, somehow, still being framed as a DSA win.
Matt, meanwhile, argued that Abdul El-Sayed may have a Napoleon complex when it comes to Mike Rogers, who literally stands a head above him, after El-Sayed’s tough talk in campaign ads and on the stump.
Which begs the question: What’s fair game in 2026?
We’re watching these races closely, debating the candidates and their strategies, and trying to make sense of campaigns being waged in an increasingly AI-driven, digital-first political world.
