Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by Marcus Flowers, Army veteran, former congressional candidate, and outspoken defender of democracy, for a no-holds-barred conversation on the stakes in 2025. We dig into Trump’s escalating authoritarianism, the GOP’s abandonment of democratic norms, and how MAGA’s culture wars are fueling division across the country. Flowers shares his take on the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein, Trump’s upcoming meeting with Putin, and the controversy surrounding the BLS. We also unpack Trump’s push to take over the D.C. police force, contrasting his heavy-handed tactics with the values service members swear to uphold. From ICE roundups to global instability, this episode is a call to stand up, speak out, and fight back before it’s too late.
