Summary

This week Axe and Heilemann are joined by former Chief Beast, current journalist, and author John Avlon. The Hacks dig into the aftermath of a tumultuous weekend in Minnesota — and across the Trump administration — following the killing of Alex Pretti. They unpack ICE and citizen accountability, the administration’s evolving claims versus video evidence that challenges them, and the tangled web the White House has woven around the Second Amendment, DHS funding, and the looming threat of another government shutdown. Plus, Greenland, Mamdani battling the storm (literally), and so much more. Photo by Arthur Maiorella/Anadolu via Getty Images Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
