James and Al call out how Trump continues catering to authoritarians around the world and stand up for diversity-focused policies in the military and civil service before welcoming Independent Senator from Maine, Angus King.  They discuss the dangers of Trump’s guardrail-free presidency, looking at whether the administration will protect Medicaid for the millions of Americans who rely on it, the effect of DOGE on government spending, and how the new administration’s priorities affect the coming budget battle.  They also examine if Trump’s foreign policy reflects our national priorities and explain the impact of his changes on the future of international relations.
