This week, President Trump’s first address to congress of his second term.  

Then, we talk about Third Way leading the charge as Democrats rethink not only their brand but their positions as they plan for the future of the party.

Next, we turn our attention to AI for some provocative, non-technical considerations that are neither theoretical nor distant. 

Finally, we head to Politicology+,where we’ll go behind the scenes of the White House’s accelerating plans to create a strategic crypto reserve.
