Episode Description

This week Seena and Travis dig into Trump’s red carpet roll out for Putin and his subsequent shift away from a “mere ceasefire agreement,” leaving Russia free to launch their largest offensive of the war in the following days. They talk through what it means for Hamas to accept conditions for a ceasefire as Israel is poised to attack Gaza City and look into state-sponsored militias in eastern Congo killing civilians. Finally they explain why they’re bummed that JD likes to bake.
