This week, we discuss whether Donald Trump and the Republicans have a mandate.
Next, we discuss whether America has a cohesive “working class.”
Finally, in our separate Politicology+ episode we talk about the national security risks that data harvesting presents—and how we might use it to get better privacy protection for all of us.
