The New Resistance
On today's episode of 'Politics Nation' Nearly two months into Trump's second term, Democrats remain without a clear strategy to respond to his administration. Plus, signs of opposition emerge as lawmakers adapt differently, such as breaking ranks or compromising.

As the Democrats' resistance begins to take shape, Trump’s agenda appears to be stalling. Republicans in Congress are grappling with backlash over cuts, tariff disputes, and proposed reductions to the Education Department's budget—issues on which Trump has temporarily backtracked. Lastly, reports indicate that Trump has asserted control over Elon Musk, making it clear in a cabinet meeting that his administration is in charge, not Musk and his team.
