The Blueprint with Jen PsakiAuthor: MS NOW, Eugene Daniels, Symone Sanders Townsend
Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels first became friends over a decade ago, as they built careers at the intersection of society, culture, and politics. On Clock It with Symone & Eugene, they invite listeners and guests into their personal groupchat. They talk about politics (think Nikole Hannah-Jones on modern civil rights!); they talk about the arts (Tony Goldwyn, aka President Fitz from Scandal, drops by!); and they talk about how all of it comes together to shape our lives. This is where you can stay tapped in without burning out. Because on Clock It, you get a look at the world in Symone and Eugenes signature style: off-the-cuff, engaging, and always with a dose of fun. New episodes drop Thursdays.

Trump gets Booed…Loudly, and Graham Platner Tries to Redeem Himself
Episode 18
Thursday, 11 June, 2026
Graham Platner’s redemption arc starts now, after he wins the Democratic senatorial nomination for Maine. And while the rest of the United States is celebrating Pride, a handful of southern (plus Utah) Republican lawmakers have made it a point to rebrand June to disassociate with the LGBTQ+ community. The NBA Finals continue to heat up, in the same week 2026 World Cup kicks off. This should be a time for soccer fans across the globe to bow down at the altar of soccer, but politics – as it so often does – has gotten in the way. The African referee of 2025 was not allowed to enter the U.S. despite being handpicked by FIFA to officiate games, Iraq’s star player was detained and questioned for hours by Border Patrol agents, and the Iranian soccer team is not being allowed to sleep in the country despite being scheduled to play three matches in Los Angeles and Seattle. It’s times like these -- when the world is full of chaos -- that we look to the stars, which is why we asked Neil deGrasse Tyson to join the groupchat. He blew our minds with facts about UFOs, the Andromeda Galaxy, and the Earth’s real shape, reminding us that "the universe is under no obligation to make sense.” Sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts to listen to this and other MS podcasts without ads.
