Episode notes

- Enjeti links rising gas, diesel, and mortgage rates to declining GOP Senate prospects and voter focus on the economy over foreign policy.
Supporting Troops Means Reporting Truth
- A patriotic press does not mean uncritical cheerleading; accurate reporting and mourning the dead supports troops better than propaganda.
- Enjeti critiques Secretary Hegseth's call for 'patriotic press' and emphasizes reporting widening conflict and casualties.
Early U.S. Casualties Intensify Scrutiny
- Early casualties and accidents in a new war quickly shape public perception and political fallout.
