Summary

The chaos rages on as we enter week four of Donald Trump’s presidency. With the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gutting vital programs, a relentless wave of executive orders rolling back progress, and an administration hell-bent on reshaping the country, it’s easy to feel exhausted. But now is not the time to tune out. Complacency is the enemy. Across the country, protests are growing, voices are rising, and even high-profile figures are stepping up to take a stand. Join Don live as we break down the latest government shake-ups, the resistance that’s building, and what you can do to stay informed and engaged. Learn more about your ad choices.
