Trump's Ballroom Reno Derailed by Epstein

Democrats release a new batch of Jeffrey Epstein's
emails—including messages suggesting that Trump knew what Epstein
was doing and spent time with one of his victims. Republicans
fire back with 20,000 more pages of documents, Trump insists it's
all a hoax, and Congress moves toward a vote that could force DOJ
to release the full Epstein files. Jon and Dan break down how bad
this is for Trump and his vanity building projects, the
government's belated reopening, the lingering shutdown hangover,
the future of ACA subsidies, and a sneaky provision that would
let eight GOP senators sue the federal government. They also
discuss Trump's disastrous interview with Laura Ingraham, his
baffling affordability pivot, and MAGA outrage over Kash Patel
using an FBI jet as his own private shuttle service. Then, Texas
State Rep. James Talarico stops by to talk about why he's jumping
into the Democratic primary to unseat Senator John Cornyn.
