Conflict reporter/writer/cartoonist Ted Rall and political analyst Jamarl Thomas deprogram you from mainstream media every weekday at 9 AM ET.
Today we discuss:
• President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said this weekend that his former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov was wrong to call for national elections and that holding a vote in the middle of war could divide Ukraine. “Elections right now would be a tsunami for the state that would split Ukraine apart,” he said. Without a cease-fire, which Russia would not agree to, holding elections carried “major risks,” Zelensky said.
• The Trump administration will announce what it is describing as its most comprehensive assault to date on Iran’s economy, unveiling a bigger “Operation Economic Fury” or “Economic D-Day” of measures that are intended to isolate Iran from the rest of the world.
• Ohio voters are furious. Could they turn purple again? A governor’s race, a Senate contest and enough congressional contests to swing control of the House are all in play, where voters of all stripes express a deep sense of anger and powerlessness.
• Democrats and other Trump critics reacted incredulously to a New York Times report that House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries met with Jared Kushner, the president’s influential son-in-law, to discuss possible areas of collaboration.
