Today’s Bill Press Pod is a wide-ranging discussion between Bill and Congressman Jared Huffman on the political landscape following the 2024 election. Huffman is a Democrat representing the 2nd Congressional District in California. They talked about the contrast between the peaceful transition of power in 2025 and the chaos of January 6, 2021. They looked at challenges facing the new Republican-controlled House under a narrow majority, and the potential for Democrats to withhold cooperation and concerns about the incoming administration's plans to "gut the federal government" and undermine democratic institutions using executive power. Huffman warns about the implementation of Project 2025 and the threat of constitutional crises and the militarization of domestic policy. A strategy for Democrats is to go on the offensive and contrast their agenda with the Republican administration's priorities. And finally, the possibility of Kamala Harris running for Governor of California and her future political aspirations.

Today Bill highlights the work of Chef Jose Andres and The World Central Kitchen, working to feed people in need all over the world. Andres was just awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Biden. You can help by going to WCK.org.
