In moments like these, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and even easier to feel powerless.

But we are neither.

I'm Stacey Abrams, and on my podcast, Assembly Required, I take on each executive action,

legislative battle, and breaking news moment by asking three questions.

What's really happening?

What can we do about it?

And how do we keep going together?

This is a space for clarity, strategy, and hope, rooted in action, not denial.

New episodes of assembly required drop Tuesdays.

Tune in wherever you get your podcast and on YouTube. Welcome to Pod Save America. I am Alex Wagner. This week, I sat down with journalists and newfound target of the Trump administration, Don Lemon, to talk about the federal charges the Department of Justice brought against him after

covering an ICE protest at a Minnesota church. We talked about what those attacks on the free press

mean for this political moment and how his move from mainstream journalism at a major network

to independent journalism on his own platform has changed how he does the news, a move I am also a little bit

familiar with. As always, the best way to support Crooked Media is by subscribing to Friends of

whose husband has been detained, despite the fact that he is a Docker recipient. And I also got

into it with the bulwarks Jonathan V. Last. It is a good, good, good

episode. You can subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. Thank you in advance. So let's get into it.

Here is Don Lemon.

I got to say, I am so excited to talk to Don Lemon.
