Centrist Democrats have a new manifesto — the "Promise to America" — declaring "we are capitalist, not socialist." David and Matt read the whole thing so you don't have to, and it's even emptier than you'd think. Plus: Zohran Mamdani runs circles around ABC's Jonathan Karl, Trump can't stop complimenting him, and Josh Gottheimer and Tom Suozzi audition for their donors.
Then Juan David Rojas joins to break down Colombia's elections — how the left's watershed victory under Petro gave way to a resurgent right, and what the rest of Latin America should take from it. And Matt debuts a new segment, Spilling the FT, with a surprisingly hopeful letter about who Europeans actually blame for the housing crisis. (Hint: it's not immigrants.)
