Nebraska State Senator John Cavanaugh returns to the show as his campaign for Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District gets underway. He brings special guest Rep. Mark Pocan (WI-02), who recently endorsed him in the crowded NE-02 Democratic primary race. Cavanaugh reacts to the United States and Israel’s recent military strikes on Iran and discusses the role of Congress in authorizing military force.
