The big, ugly bill is gonna pass. And the wealthy will get huge tax breaks, and working class Americans will lose health care and food assistance, immigrants will be cruelly harassed, and the debt will increase by trillions. Republicans must pay a political price in 2026 for what they’re doing right now. But it will be up to Democrats to make that case.

I sat down with Rachel Janfanza, founder of The Up and Up, an organization dedicated to young voters in America. Fascinating conversation - what does Gen Z care about? Where are they at politically? How do they want to make a difference? Good stuff, give it a listen.

Striking Iran's nuclear facilities might have been a good idea, but it would have been much better if there was a competent team in charge. Former Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger joined me to talk about it.

Senate Republicans today look to advance a bill that gives tax breaks to the wealthy, cut health care & food assistance to the neediest among us, and adds trillions to the debt. How is that a beautiful bill? It isn’t. And…you can’t say you believe in freedom and say that billionaires shouldn’t exist. You just can’t.

Everyone seems to continue to just beat up on the Democratic Party, pile on how messed up and problematic the Democratic Party is. Ok. The Democratic Party has issues, but my former political party is an authoritarian embracing cult that’s given up on democracy and ignores the rule of law. So…WHICH party has issues?

I sat down with one of the smartest political minds I know, Mike Madrid, to get at what happened in NYC Tuesday, what’s happening with the Democratic Party, what’s happening to our American institutions, and where this great experiment in democracy is heading. As only he can do, Madrid offered fascinating insights.

We all make too much out of off year and special elections, but this much is clear by now: the Democratic Party base is angry, fed up and feeling ignored by their party establishment. And they’re letting their party establishment know it. And hear it. This disruptive dynamic sounds so familiar to this former tea party guy.

No matter where you stand on what happened over the weekend in Iran, no matter where you stand on Israel, always know this basic truth: Donald Trump is a reckless, dangerous idiot who can’t be trusted. Ever. Our military knows that. And Israel knows that. His voters will learn that once again.

Buckle up America. Not only is what Trump doing to immigrants stupid, cruel, divisive and un-American. It’s also gonna mess up our economy. Big time. Get ready to pay lots more at the grocery store for those peaches, that beef, and those onions.
