Summary

Don sits down with former Representatives Cori Bush and Jamaal Bowman to break down the absolute MAGA-fueled chaos consuming D.C. right now. From power grabs to performative outrage, it's clear the clown car has fully parked on Capitol Hill. So… what now? What should Democrats be doing in the face of all this dysfunction? And is there still room for bold, progressive leadership in a town that feels like it’s spiraling? Let’s talk strategy, survival—and how to push back when reality starts to look like satire.
