On today's episode of the D.C. Sources podcast, Meghan Hays, Eli Stokols and Maura Gillespie break down another week in American politics.

What does Donald Trump's $5,000 pledge mean for the midterm elections... is it a bribe or serious political strategy?

Should we pay heed to industry insider warnings on AI or are they, as the president puts it, an anti-American hoax?

In the first ever episode of the D.C. Sources Podcast, hosts Maura Gillespie, Meghan Hays, and Eli Stokols analyze the biggest developments shaking up Washington, D.C. and the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

From Donald Trump's controversial first-of-its-kind midterm convention in Dallas to escalations in the U.S.–Canada trade conflict and results from the New Hampshire primaries, the panel breaks down what these moves mean for everyday voters across the United States and people around the world.

Is the Dallas convention a necessary base-rallying strategy, a donor money grab, or a vanity project? The team evaluates the $2.5M price tag, security costs, and the risk for vulnerable Republicans.

Are the US and Canada enemies now? as each government refuses to back down from an escalating trade war?

And is Chris Pappas or John Sununu more likely to entice voters across New Hampshire?
