A Fragile Truce. 

The United States, Israel, and Iran announced a “complete and total” ceasefire — but Israel continues to strike Lebanon, and Iran has yet to lift its blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. What are the terms of the deal? And what future, if any, awaits peace negotiations?

Guest: José López Zamorano, Reporter, Washington, DC.

A Latino Takes the Helm of a Major Union. California’s largest workers’ union has elected a Latino leader as its president — a third-generation union organizer. Arnulfo De La Cruz takes charge of SEIU California at a critical moment, as members gear up for the November elections. De La Cruz has pledged to take the fight directly to Trump and to battle in 2026 for democracy and voters’ rights. He also promises to lead the “UnRig California” campaign, pushing to reform a tax system that favors corporations over working families. What are De La Cruz’s priorities — and the challenges ahead?

Guest: Arnulfo De la Cruz, President, SEIU Local 2015, Los Angeles, CA.

Thousands Uninsured as Premiums Rise. New data show a drop in ACA coverage for the first time in five years: more than one million people have lost insurance, premiums are rising, and more Americans are moving into high-deductible plans. The result: paying more for less protection. What decisions explain this shift? Who is being left out? How is this affecting real access to health care?

Guest: Leonardo Cuello, Research Professor, McCourt School of Public Policy’s Center for Children and Families, Georgetown University, Washington, DC.
