Summary
Tara Palmeri interviews Laura Dunn, one of seven candidates running for Congress in New York's 12th district — the Manhattan seat long held by Jerry Nadler and arguably one of the wealthiest districts in the world. Dunn, a civil rights attorney and sexual assault survivor who helped draft the Violence Against Women Act reauthorization and sued Trump in his first term, is running as the only people-powered candidate in a field dominated by establishment money: Jack Schlossberg backed by Pelosi, George Conway the ex-Republican who lived in Trump Tower, Michael Lasher bankrolled by $5 million from Bloomberg, and Alex Flores funded by AI money from Palantir and Anthropic. They discuss why she's calling for impeachment as the top priority, why she broke with the party on Israel aid, the Comey seashells indictment, King Charles's tone-deaf visit while his brother dodges Epstein accountability, and why the Democratic establishment keeps hand-selecting white men in one of the most diverse cities in the world.
