    In the 18th episode of What’s the Motion?, we break down the electrifying finale of the Virginia Democratic Statewide Primary and unpack what the results mean heading into the general election. Then it’s mixie season, so grab your mocktails and your mimosas as we give you the rundown from the Blue Commonwealth Gala, political tea included.

    On the global front, we dive into the evolving tensions between Iran, Israel, and the United States and what it signals for international diplomacy. Back home, the political winds are shifting. We spotlight Congressman Robert Garcia’s rise to Oversight Chair and celebrate Zohan Modani’s emergence as the presumptive Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor. These are two milestones pointing toward a younger, bolder generation of leadership.

    Finally, we take a cultural turn, decoding the latest relationship drama through the lenses of Pusha T and Travis Scott. It’s politics, pop culture, and plenty of motion all in one jam-packed episode.
