In this episode, Tara unpacks Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social post urging Republicans to “initiate the nuclear option” and scrap the filibuster — a move that could reshape the balance of power in Washington. She explores whether Trump means a full repeal or a targeted approach for continuing resolutions and how this strategy plays into the GOP’s struggle to pass a new budget amid mounting pressure from Democrats. With holiday travel chaos looming and a $200 billion demand for illegal immigrant health care at stake, Tara highlights the high-risk political chess game unfolding in D.C. The episode closes on a festive note as listeners call in with eerie Halloween tales — proving that even in politics, there’s room for a good scare.
