Hey, everyone, you're listening to a free preview of the politics podcast. This week, Democrats

have a choice to make about whether they'll vote to allow Donald Trump and Elon Musk to continue

their constitutional crime spree or not. We'll talk about the government shutdown fight, what to look

So if you want to hear the whole conversation, you can upgrade your subscription to paid at

politics.fm.
