Summary

Don sits down with Congresswoman Janelle Bynum for a powerful conversation about the state of the nation and the chaos unfolding across America. They discuss Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to blue states, the inhumane and unconstitutional ICE detentions, and the growing tension between state and federal power. Rep. Bynum makes one thing crystal clear: there will be no federal takeover of Portland, Oregon, not on her watch. She lays out what resistance looks like in Oregon, and why standing up for democracy and human rights matters now more than ever. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
