Description:
Poland is in a full blown constitutional crisis after Donald Tusk sent police to take over the constitutional tribunal, forcing President Nawrocki to turn his plane around as PiS warns of a judiciary coup. Alex breaks down what Brussels stands to gain from control of Poland's courts, plus the G20 family photo fiasco in Atlanta, Lavrov's verdict on Europe, and the Axios report on Iran talks ahead of the midterms. Did Tusk just make the biggest political blunder of his career?
