Can Democrats Win a Shutdown Fight?

A government shutdown appears inevitable after Democratic leaders
and President Trump fail to reach a deal to extend soon-to-expire
Affordable Care Act subsidies. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss
what Democrats will need to do to win this shutdown fight and
then check in on the latest from Trump's authoritarian takeover,
including the political prosecution of James Comey, Trump's
deployment of troops to Portland, and a terrifying new national
security directive that targets left-wing organizations, funders,
and beliefs. Then, the guys discuss Trump's 20-point peace plan
to end the war in Gaza and the peculiar AI-generated video about
"medbeds" the President posted on Truth Social over the weekend.
