Hi, I'm Molly JongFast and this is Fast Politics, where we discuss the top political headlines with some of today's best minds.

0:08.5

And Donald Trump is mad at the reports that he did not win in a landslide after winning less than 50% of the popular vote.

0:18.5

We have a show of shows for you today.

0:22.5

To the contrary, author Charlie Sykes talks to us about staying sane in insanity.

0:29.4

Then we'll talk to Democracy Forward, Sky Perryman, about fighting back against Trump's agenda using the courts. But first, the news.
