In this episode of Burn the Talking Points, we’re getting straight to the strategy that will define the fight ahead. With Trump’s chaos dominating the headlines, how do Democrats break through and win in 2026? We’re joined by national Democratic communications experts Martha McKenna, Dr. Anna Greenberg, and Kevin Harris to debate the best message to take on Trump now. They break down what works, what doesn’t, and how we can cut through the noise to deliver a winning message.

Then, we put their skills to the test in a fun round of “Good Tweet, Bad Tweet”, where they react to real political tweets and tell us what hits—and what completely misses the mark. No spin, no fluff—just real, unfiltered strategy on how Democrats can win again.

In this episode of Burn the Talking Points, we’re getting straight to the legal battles defining Trump’s chaotic return. Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown joins us to break down how he and Democratic AGs across the country are fighting back against Trump’s reckless agenda, from attacking cancer research to cutting middle class jobs.

But we’re not stopping there. We put AG Brown to the test in "Real or Fake?", a game where he has to guess whether some of Trump’s most outrageous antics are real—or too wild to be true. Think you can beat his score?
