Congressman Mike Levin (CA-49) joins us in a unique episode co-hosted by UCSD political scientist Thad Kousser. We get Levin's reaction to the most recent mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and get his thoughts on whether he thinks the tragedy will spur lawmakers to take meaningful action. Levin also talks about the fight in the U.S. House of Representatives over the Speakership and why he's concerned about the new GOP Speaker Mike Johnson overseeing the certification of the 2024 election. The Congressman also discusses the looming government shutdown, the spread of misinformation on social media, and much more.
