GOP lawmakers are starting to push back against the $1.8 billion slush fund, two DC officers tied to January 6 are now suing the government, and Trump's flashy ballroom project may already be hitting a wall in Congress.

Gas prices are climbing, recession fears are spreading, and critics are sounding alarms over the massive $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded pool that could potentially benefit Trump allies and political loyalists. Add in the ongoing chaos surrounding Iran policy, and a lot of people are asking the same question: how much more instability can the country take? And then there's Trump himself. After another round of rambling public remarks today, concerns about his behavior and mental sharpness are once again dominating conversation online and across the political world. We are joined by Senator Catherine Cortez Masto and Keisha Lance Bottoms! This episode is sponsored by SelectQuote.

Don sits down with Democratic strategist and friend of the show Mike Nellis to break down the latest primary results, the fallout from Thomas Massie's loss, and what it all says about the current state of American politics. As Donald Trump tightens his grip on the Republican Party, it is becoming clear that loyalty now matters more than principle, policy, or even basic decency. The political bar feels like it's somewhere beneath the floorboards, and a growing number of Americans seem exhausted by the chaos, division, and nonstop outrage. Where does the country go from here, and what does a path forward actually look like?
