Today we're going to talk about the first indications of a real revolt forming against the Trump administration, and I've got three interviews with five senators this week after my trip to D.C. I sat down with Bernie Sanders to discuss Elon Musk's overreach and a new path forward for Democrats. I interview Elizabeth Warren about the attacks on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and I'm joined by Corey Booker, Chris Murphy,

and Brian Schottes together to discuss the prospect of a constitutional crisis. I'm Brian

0:25.5

Tyler Cohen, and you're listening to No Lie. It didn't even take a full month into Trump's

0:32.4

second term in a moment that would normally be his honeymoon period, right, before we're seeing

1:28.6

on our collective acceptance of it, which is why it was particularly bad news for Trump when

1:33.7

that bubble was pierced by high-ranking U.S. attorneys.

1:36.9

First, there was Republican Danielle Sassoon and then Republican Scott Hagan.

1:40.8

Both of these prosecutors who took public stands against the administration when they were

1:45.4

ordered by Trump's mega corrupt acting deputy attorney general, Emil Bove, to dismiss the charges

against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. So Trump wanted the charges dismissed because he knew that
