Description

Trump launched his first week back in office signaling to loyal followers that they are free to break the law on his behalf, while telling political opponents—including John Bolton and Mike Pompeo—that he'll put their lives at risk. Meanwhile, an office full of white faces is not evidence of a meritocracy, a shortage of VA nurses or prosecutors at the DOJ is not government efficiency, and Putin is different from the man he was during Trump's first term. Plus, the dangers of the word "invasion" in the immigration context.

David French joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Cute former Republicans analyzing, soberly. Really? The play is to get the military under his control and use it. Ignore SCOTUS at will. What if the 2026 midterms need to be suspended by Trump's order - as an "official act?" Tough luck, huh?
