Here are my notes and plans for this page [i.e., work in progress]. I plan to finish this at least to some extent but I have no idea how long it will take me to finish! I will probably be adding more content (and possibly removing some content after watching or reading it if it turns out to not be worth sharing).
This is where I will place notes and plans, such as links to interesting videos.

[INTERVIEW] Graham Platner, a Democratic candidate running for Senate in Maine, stops by
the studio to talk with Jon about Trump’s impending conflict with Iran, the future of Medicare
for All, and what community organizing in rural Maine taught him about building political
power in our polarized era. The two discuss new polls showing Platner leading Janet Mills
in the Democratic Senate primary, how his tattoo controversy has resonated with Maine voters,
and what he wants to change about the Democratic Party to rebuild a winning, working-class
coalition.

Maggie Haberman & Jonathan Swan - On “Regime Change” & Inside The Trump Presidency
The Daily Show - Jon Stewart - 06/23/2026 [29:07]
New York Times reporters and authors of the new book “Regime Change: Inside the Imperial
Presidency of Donald Trump,” Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, sit down with Jon Stewart
to discuss the surprising revelations they uncovered about the Trump administration,
like the president being absent from the room when his own team discussed the Epstein
files, as well as the motivation behind controversial moves like the tariff policy
rollout and the Iran war. They also speak to how Trump controls the terms when reporters
reach him on his cell phone and compare his first term to his second, which they describe
as a story of hubris, built on gut feelings and belief from his cabinet that he is someone
of destiny – because who else can survive four indictments and two assassination attempts
to win the presidency a second time?
