Affordable Healthcare is Worth Fighting For

After Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats on extending
Affordable Care Act subsidies, the government shuts down. Dan and
Alex Wagner, Pod Save America's newest contributor, discuss what
Democrats will need to do to hold the line; Project 2025
architect Russ Vought's attacks on blue states and federal
employees; and the Democratic-Republican messaging fight that's
devolved into an AI-fueled meme war. Then, the two break down
Trump's threats — and Hegseth's grievances — at an unprecedented
meeting of the military's top brass, Trump's new political
demands for universities, and some much-needed good news about
free speech, Fed Chair Lisa Cook, and the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
