In this week’s episode of Branding Democrats, Gabby and Ken take on the stories everyone is angry about.

We start with the Epstein files and the growing outrage over how Trump’s DOJ is handling them: missed redactions that expose victims, total protection for powerful men, and a Justice Department that increasingly looks like a personal law firm for the president. If Republicans claim to be the party of “law and order,” why is accountability nowhere to be found?

From there, we zoom out to the bigger picture: the erosion of trust in institutions, the normalization of corruption, and the alarming push to nationalize elections — a proposal that should be setting off every alarm bell in a democracy.

This isn’t just about one scandal. It’s about power, accountability, and whether Democrats are willing to define who they are before authoritarianism defines the country for them.
