They discuss whether putting money on the line brings us closer to the truth, how betting can create incentives to manipulate events, and what we risk when more of our shared reality becomes something to wager on.

After a teenager died this summer during a horse-drawn carriage ride in New York City — and following long-standing protests by animal rights activists against the tourist activity — Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin said they plan to end horse-drawn carriage rides by June 2028.

Voters in Washington, DC, and Denver, Colorado could soon ban one of the world’s most controversial foods: foie gras. French for “fatty liver,” many chefs and fine diners revere foie gras as a delicacy. But animal activists allege it’s particularly cruel, as it’s made by force-feeding ducks with a metal tube during the final weeks of their lives. If these two US cities do phase out foie gras sales, they’d join California, Brazil, and a number of US cities, including Pittsburgh, Portland, Oregon, and New York City.

They might not all agree yet on what “universal child care” means, but the fact that candidates are now rallying behind making early childhood more affordable and accessible is a testament to how successful the child care advocacy movement has been over the last decade.

But the battle for control of state legislatures matters just as much, if not more. Currently, Republicans hold a trifecta — control of the governorship, state senate, and state house — in 23 states, while Democrats hold 16. Flipping just a handful of state seats can change who holds the majority of power nationwide. That has major policy implications. On this week’s episode of America, Actually, Vox’s Astead Herndon travels to Wisconsin to dig into the national strategy behind state-level trifectas, what’s at stake for working-class voters, and what it takes to flip rural districts. 00:00 A blue wave beyond Congress 01:50 Wisconsin: The perfect case study 04:48 What a Wisconsin trifecta could deliver 06:09 Winning back rural voters 07:07 Wisconsin’s gerrymandering legacy 08:17 The growth of data centers 10:41 Francesca Hong’s narrow primary loss 12:43 The electability debate 16:17 Wisconsin’s national stakes 18:45 Rallying to flip the legislature 20:40 The issues that matter most to rural Democrats 29:00 Takeaways America, Actually publishes video episodes every Saturday tackling key issues in politics, culture, and the economy.
