The government has shut down and President Trump is withholding dedicated funds to blue states, demanding  universities sign a pact to get federal funding and cracking down on free speech. We bring together a panel of reporters to sort through what is happening in Washington and discuss the ways the Trump administration is throwing out the playbook and creating new, and sometimes unlawful, norms.

Guests:

Philip Bump, former national columnist, Washington Post - Bump is the author of "The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America"

Domenico Montanaro, senior political editor and correspondent, NPR

Molly Ball, former senior political correspondent, Wall Street Journal
