The Don Lemon Show

This morning we’re breaking down the biggest news of the day, and the chaos is only growing. The Venezuela boat strike scandal continues to engulf Pete Hegseth, and now a newly released Pentagon report says Hegseth’s signal-gate mess put U.S. troops at risk. Things are looking very bad for him, but of course, Donald Trump is doing what he always does: claiming he “knows nothing” while still backing Hegseth to the end. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is pushing to further limit the use of childhood vaccines, adding yet another layer of danger and misinformation to an already volatile political landscape. Things just keep getting worse, but we’re here to break it all down, make sense of the madness, and give you the facts and a little sanity to start your day. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight we’re diving back into the Epstein scandal because it is far from over. Today, House Democrats released never-before-seen photos and videos from Epstein’s island in the U.S. Virgin Islands… and “creepy” doesn’t even begin to describe them. The material raises even more questions about who visited, what happened there, and how much has been kept from the public. So how much more is still out there? Will the full Epstein files ever actually be released? Join us live as we break down the political fallout and what this latest release means for transparency and for the powerful people who still don’t want these files to see the light of day.

Don sits down with Rep. Jimmy Gomez to dig into all the major news of the day, and there’s a lot to cover. They break down the latest developments in the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal, Trump’s latest pardon, and the growing sense of lawlessness radiating from the administration. Rep. Gomez also walks Don through the new legislation he’s introducing to combat the inhumane immigration tactics we’re seeing across the country and to address the mounting affordability crisis that’s squeezing millions of Americans.

This morning we’re diving into the latest wave of bad news crashing down on MAGA, and it’s getting harder for them to hide the cracks. The job numbers came in far worse than expected, blowing a hole in Trump’s economic talking points. And meanwhile, the Hegseth Venezuela boat strike scandal is refusing to fade, no matter how many confusing excuses the White House throws at it. The instability, the infighting, the unraveling, it’s all on full display for the entire country to see.

Don sits down with Michael Cohen to break down all the news of the day, and there is a lot to unpack. From the absurd, shifting explanations surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes to today’s absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting, the chaos inside the Trump administration is on full display. Don and Michael dig into the dysfunction, the contradictions, the political fallout, and the sheer madness of a government that can’t settle on a story, or stay awake, during its own meetings.

Tonight we’re breaking down the absolutely batshit crazy cabinet meeting that unfolded today, a meeting so chaotic, disjointed, and surreal it felt like satire… except the American people actually have to live with the consequences. They still can’t settle on a unified story about the Venezuelan boat strikes. The explanations keep shifting by the hour, and the White House looks more panicked than ever. But that was just the opening act. We also got Kristi Noem telling Trump he somehow “keeps the hurricanes away,” Trump ranting that affordability is a Democrat scam, and the president of the United States dozing off in the middle of his own meeting. It was a wild, absurd rollercoaster of delusion and dysfunction. What. A. Shitshow. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning we’re diving back into the rapidly escalating Venezuela boat strike scandal and the White House’s increasingly desperate attempts to shield Pete Hegseth from the fallout. Despite the spin, despite the conflicting stories, the core question remains the same: Did Hegseth’s actions constitute war crimes or even murder? Legal experts say yes. The administration of course says “nothing to see here.” We’ll break down the latest reporting, the shifting defenses, and whether anyone in this MAGA-led White House will ever face accountability or if the machine is just veering even further into outright lawlessness.

Tonight we’re diving into all the major stories of the day, and the chaos is piling up fast. First, did Pete Hegseth order the second Venezuelan boat strike? The White House can’t seem to get its story straight, and the conflicting explanations are only raising more questions. If these reports are true, we’re looking at actions that many experts say could constitute war crimes, and the pressure for accountability is growing. Then we turn to Alina Habba. A federal appeals court has ruled that she had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, a stunning blow to the Trump administration. Don is traveling tonight, so we’re joined by guest host Charles Coleman, MSNBC legal analyst, former prosecutor, and civil rights attorney, to help us break it all down.

Don breaks down the explosive reporting on the Venezuelan boat strikes and the allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those vessels be killed. If true, national security experts are already calling it what it is: a war crime. Donald Trump now claims he did not know about the order, but that excuse raises even more questions. How can a commander in chief distance himself from a military-style operation carried out under his watch? And if he truly didn’t know… what does that say about who is actually in charge? Don digs into the timeline, the denials, the shifting narratives, and the growing calls for accountability. Is it time for Trump to fire Hegseth? And will he, or will politics once again outweigh basic responsibility? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning we’re diving into the explosive reporting surrounding the Venezuelan boat strikes and the disturbing allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those boats be killed. If true, many experts are already calling this a potential war crime with massive legal and political consequences. So what actually happened? Who gave which orders? And how will the Trump administration respond now that these details are coming to light? Will Trump stand by Hegseth no matter what, or is this finally the kind of scandal that brings too much heat, even for him? We are joined by friend of the show, Rick Wilson, to break it all down.

Tonight, Don is joined by friend of the show George Hahn for some much needed post-Thanksgiving laughs. MAGA has been in full meltdown mode lately, stumbling from crisis to crisis, and the cracks in Donald Trump’s once unshakable grip are getting harder to ignore. Has Trump’s spell finally broken? Is the end of MAGA actually near? Or is this just the beginning of a much louder, much messier unraveling? Don and George break it all down with humor, sharp insight, and just the right amount of holiday snark. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

This morning we begin with the heartbreaking news that one of the National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. has now passed away after the horrific attack near the White House. But even in a moment like this, Donald Trump is doing what he always does, using a national tragedy to push his own agenda and turn the focus back onto himself. Instead of leading with empathy or unity, he’s choosing self-interest and political opportunism. Don breaks down the details of this terrible incident, the reaction from officials, and Trump’s response, which once again reveals exactly where his priorities lie.

Tonight’s livestream opens with breaking news out of Washington, D.C., where two National Guard members were killed in a shooting near the White House. We’re joined by friends of the show Jolly and Michael Fanone to break down what we know so far, how something like this could happen, and what we can expect next from those in charge. This is a developing and deeply serious situation, and we’ll bring you the latest as it unfolds. Then, we’ll shift into a much-needed Thanksgiving Eve conversation with Tara Setmayer, Clay Cane, and Monique Pressley, talking tradition, food, family, and finding moments of community even in the midst of heavy news.

It’s Thanksgiving Eve, a time meant for joy, family, and connection, yet far too many people are trying to replace that spirit with fear. From Donald Trump’s continued attacks on Democratic lawmakers who simply reminded military members of their legal obligations, to the inhumane and heartbreaking ICE detentions unfolding across the country, the moment feels incredibly heavy. This morning, Don is joined by Senator Ruben Gallego to break down what’s happening, why these crises matter, and how we can hold onto truth and humanity in a time when cruelty is becoming policy.

Tonight we’re digging into some fresh reporting that could signal more cracks inside MAGA world. Donald Trump may be considering removing Kash Patel as FBI Director. The White House is denying it, but… we’ve seen this movie before. Could this be the start of yet another MAGA ouster? And what does it say about the growing instability around Trump? Then, after the political chaos, Don switches gears for something lighter: a fun Thanksgiving conversation with friends of the show Reecie Colbert, Symone Redwine, and Wajahat Ali. From food plans to family traditions to holiday hot takes, it’s the perfect way to head into the season. This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation.

Good Tuesday morning Lemon Nation. Today we dive further into the desperation that is sweeping across the MAGA landscape. Several of Trump's political retribution campaigns are failing and he's grasping at straws to assert his power in new ways. What does Pete Hegseth have to say about Mark Kelly? Will any other politicians join MTG in defying Trump, resigning, or both? Join Don at 10am EST to break down how MAGA is circling the drain.

We’re diving into yet another brutal day for Donald Trump, because the losses just keep coming. In a major legal blow, Trump’s cases against both James Comey and Letitia James have officially been dismissed. Two cases, two failures, zero wins. We’ll break down what these dismissals mean, why Trump’s legal strategy keeps collapsing, and what this string of defeats says about his shrinking power and mounting panic. We're joined by MSNBC legal analyst and civil rights attorney Charles Coleman, former federal prosecutor and the host of the “Justice Matters” podcast Glenn Kirshner, and attorney, legal analyst, and law professor Symone Redwine to unpack the rulings, the reaction, and where Trump’s legal freefall goes from here.

This morning we’re breaking down the bombshell news that Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress, a stunning twist after her very public split from Donald Trump. Once one of his most loyal supporters, Greene broke ranks over the release of the Epstein files… and Trump immediately turned his fire on her. The insults flew, the alliance shattered, and now she’s calling it quits. So what happened behind the scenes? Is this punishment for stepping out of line? And what comes next for one of the most controversial and divisive figures in modern politics? Join us live as we unpack the resignation, the fallout, and what this seismic political breakup means for Trump, MAGA, and the future of the GOP.

Tonight we’re diving into the shocking Oval Office meeting between Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani, a meeting everyone expected to explode… but instead turned into something else entirely. Instead of fights, Trump was practically smitten. Yes, really. Did we just witness the birth of a new Trump man crush? To help us unpack the chaos, confusion, and comedic gold of it all, we’re joined by friend of the show and brilliant comedian Jay Jurden. Grab your snacks.

This morning we’re diving into Donald Trump’s ongoing, unstoppable crash-out. His poll numbers are tanking, the economy under his watch is sputtering, he’s threatening Democratic lawmakers for giving troops a basic civics reminder, and the Epstein file scandal is clinging to him like static. The man is panicking, and it shows. Meanwhile, his administration is out here trying every lie, every spin, every last-minute distraction they can dream up, and absolutely none of it is landing. The country is finally starting to see Donald Trump for exactly what he’s been this whole time: a loser. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don chats with journalist and political analyst Ahmed Baba for a wide-ranging conversation about the state of the nation and the growing tension surrounding the Epstein Files. With the bill to release the files being passed, many are wondering...will the files actually be released in full? Or will Donald Trump try to limit or delay what the public gets to see? Don and Ahmed break down the political maneuvering, the sudden shift in messaging from Trump’s circle, and the increasingly obvious attempts to steer the national conversation away from Epstein altogether.

Tonight we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social tirade, several posts where he suggests that Democratic members of Congress should be arrested or even killed. This escalation comes in response to a video from several veterans turned lawmakers reminding military members that they are not obligated to follow unlawful orders, a basic pillar of U.S. military law. Trump took offense, twisted their message, and is now making reckless statements that could put these lawmakers’ lives in real danger. This isn’t political spin, it’s dangerous rhetoric from the man who holds the highest office in the country. And tonight, we won’t be discussing it alone. We’ll be joined by our very own Lemon Legends, who will weigh in on the chaos, the implications, and just how serious this moment really is. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Don breaks down Donald Trump’s latest Truth Social meltdown, several disturbing posts in which he suggests that Democratic members of Congress should be arrested or even killed. Yes, you read that right. This all stems from a video made by several military veteran lawmakers advising military members that they are not obligated to follow unlawful orders, a basic principle of U.S. military law. But Trump twisted their message into an attack on himself and is now making wild, incendiary claims online that could put these lawmakers’ lives in real danger. Don lays out what was actually said, why Trump’s reaction is so dangerous, and what this escalation reveals about his mindset and the growing threat to democratic institutions and elected officials. This isn’t politics as usual. This is a warning sign. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Epstein scandal is far from over. Donald Trump has now signed the order to release the files, but if you think that means full transparency, think again. Statements from Pam Bondi and other Trump officials are raising major red flags about possible loopholes, restrictions, and last-minute excuses to keep certain documents hidden. Meanwhile, Trump is already calling for investigations into some of the names mentioned in the files…all Democrats, of course, never mind that his own name appears over 1,000 times. Will all the files actually be released? Will Donald Trump try to block or edit what comes out? Will everyone named face real accountability, or will MAGA weaponize this for political revenge while ignoring anything tied to Trump himself? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight we’re diving into Pam Bondi’s absolutely disastrous press conference where she dodged and danced around every question, somehow managing to say nothing at all. It was a mess, and it raised even bigger questions about what the Trump administration is planning next. Are they preparing to block the release of the Epstein files? Are they trying to limit what the public gets to see? We’ll break down her evasive answers, the political signals she tried (and failed) to send, and what all of this might mean for transparency, accountability, and the fight to get these files released.

Don is joined by friend of the show Dr. Frita to break down two horrific recent cases in which Black women in labor were denied the medical care they needed. In one instance, a woman was turned away from the hospital entirely and forced to deliver her baby in her car. Dr. Frita explains why these are not isolated incidents, but part of a much larger and deeply rooted problem: a medical system that routinely minimizes, dismisses, and fails to take Black women’s pain seriously. These stories reflect a pattern of medical racism that can be traumatizing and even deadly. Together, Don and Dr. Frita discuss what went wrong, why it keeps happening, and why calling out these failures is essential if we want real change and accountability in America’s healthcare system.

This morning we’re taking a closer look at something we haven’t seen in a long, long time: Republicans are finally starting to turn on Donald Trump. His approval rating is sliding, key allies are distancing themselves, and a few lawmakers, the same ones who used to trip over each other to defend him, are suddenly finding their spines. So what’s going on? Is this the beginning of the end for MAGA? Are people finally realizing that Trump is a lame-duck president with shrinking influence and even fewer allies? Join us live as we break down the shifts inside the GOP, the public polling, the panic behind the scenes, and what this unraveling could mean for 2026 and beyond.

Tonight we’re going live to break down the big news out of the House: the bill to release the Epstein files has officially passed, and it wasn’t just bipartisan, it was nearly unanimous. Only one member voted no. This is a major hurdle cleared, even though the bill still needs to get through the Senate. So what happens next? Will the names in these files finally face real accountability? And with Donald Trump suddenly insisting he’s for releasing the files, will he actually allow it to happen once the documents land on his desk? We’ll go through the vote, the reactions, the political fallout, and what this could mean for survivors, for Congress, and for anyone tied to Epstein’s network. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Today is the day...the House is voting on the release of the Epstein Files. This morning, we'll follow the major press conference ahead of the vote. Rep. Ro Khanna, Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and a group of Epstein survivors are expected to speak, setting the stage for what could be one of the most consequential votes of the year. What are lawmakers signaling ahead of the vote? Will bipartisan support hold? What does this mean for transparency, accountability, and the political fallout heading straight toward Donald Trump and the MAGA movement?

In this video, Don takes a closer look at Megyn Kelly’s very rough week. It started with her baffling attempt to downplay Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes by insisting it wasn’t “actually pedophilia.” People were left wondering what on earth she meant, because the victims were children. Full stop. Any effort to soften what Epstein did is not only absurd, it’s dangerous. But Megyn didn’t stop there. She then walked straight into a joke she once mocked Mehdi Hasan for, accidentally becoming the punchline of her own hypocrisy. Don breaks down what she said, why it was so disturbing, and how the whole saga exposes a deeper pattern in conservative media of rewriting reality when the truth is inconvenient.

Tonight we’re diving into Donald Trump’s Oval Office comments from today, comments that make it clearer than ever that he is melting down under the pressure of the Epstein file scandal. For the first time in a long time, Trump seems rattled. And very aware that this might be the moment his grip on the MAGA base finally slips. As Republicans fracture, excuses fall apart, and his own allies start distancing themselves, the question becomes: what now? Can Trump recover from this? Or are we watching the beginning of the end of his power over the movement he built? Join us live as we break down the fallout, the panic, and what this upheaval could mean for the 2026 landscape.

In this episode, Don is joined by former D.C. police officer and friend of the show Michael Fanone to break down the viral moment that has everyone talking: a Texas state trooper appearing to intentionally and aggressively shoulder-check South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor right after his touchdown. What was the point of this deliberate act of hostility? Why was an on-field law enforcement officer acting with such unnecessary aggression toward a student-athlete? And most importantly, should this trooper face real consequences for his actions? Don and Fanone take a closer look at the footage, the reaction from fans and players, and what this incident says about policing, power, and accountability. Learn more about your ad choices.

Good morning Lemon Nation! Today we’re digging into the absolute crash-out happening inside the MAGA universe. After days of pushing back on releasing the Epstein files, Donald Trump has suddenly flipped the script and now says Republicans should make them public. Did he realize the release was inevitable? Did someone finally tell him how guilty the stonewalling made him look? Hard to say, Trump logic is its own language. But here’s the kicker: he now wants to “investigate” everyone named in the files… except, of course, the Republicans. Only the Democrats. Meanwhile, some of Trump’s most loyal foot soldiers, people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, are breaking ranks on this one. And when MTG is willing to step off the Trump train, you know the wheels are starting to wobble. Are we watching real cracks form in the MAGA party? Could this be the moment the whole thing finally starts to crumble? Join us live as we break it down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Tonight, we’re digging even deeper into the Epstein scandal that’s now circling Donald Trump. The newly released documents and emails are raising serious questions, ones that Trump’s own allies are struggling to spin. We’ll be joined live by Michael Wolff, who played a key role in several of the released communications. He’s here to walk us through what was actually said, what it means, and why this story is hitting the MAGA world harder than they expected. Is this the scandal that finally breaks Trump’s grip on his base? Has the MAGA spell started to crack? Or will his supporters twist themselves into knots to defend him yet again?

Donald Trump just said the quiet part out loud. In a Fox News interview, he dismissed American workers, his own supporters, as lacking the skill, talent, and drive to do the jobs he once promised them. Don breaks down what Trump’s comments really mean for the MAGA movement, and why this moment exposes a decade of political manipulation. This is the truth behind the MAGA myth, and why Trump finally said what he’s always believed. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This morning, we’re talking about something disturbing, and honestly, long overdue: the pattern of sexual misconduct allegations swirling around MAGA’s most high-profile figures. From Donald Trump’s deepening entanglement in the Epstein document scandal, to the renewed reporting on allegations involving Rep. Matt Gaetz, to the multiple sex-related scandals rocking MAGA’s political and religious circles, these reports raise some legitimate, unavoidable questions. Why does it feel like sexual misconduct is not a disqualifier in the MAGA universe? Why is this tolerated, excused, or brushed aside? And why do so many GOP leaders seem more appalled by drag queens and library books than by misconduct allegations within their own ranks? Some things are wrong beyond party lines. Some things should be universally unacceptable. Yet here we are, looking at a movement that shrugs at predators while claiming to champion “family values.” Don breaks down the reporting, the patterns, the hypocrisy, and what this says about the state of the modern Republican Party.

The drama around the Epstein files is still exploding, and tonight we’re diving even deeper. Thousands of pages of documents have now been released, and Donald Trump’s name appears again and again in ways that suggest he knew Epstein far better than he ever wanted the public to believe. And now the country is asking the question Trump fears most: What exactly was their relationship, and why did he work so hard to hide it? Even some of Trump’s most loyal supporters are suddenly… quiet. Confused. Some are openly wondering what these revelations really mean and whether the story they were sold all these years was ever real. Is this the beginning of the end for MAGA? Or will Trump’s movement find a way to spin, deny, and hold on? This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

In this episode, Don sits down with Democratic strategist and consultant Chuck Rocha to break down the chaos unfolding in Washington, D.C. The GOP is rattled. Trump is visibly anxious. And with the explosive release of the Epstein emails, the former president’s frantic attempts to deny, distract, and cover up are only making him look more guilty and more desperate. Don and Chuck unpack the mood inside the Capitol, the fear gripping MAGA world, and what these revelations might mean for Trump’s future. Then they take a deep dive into the massive shift in the Latino vote during Tuesday’s Democratic sweep. Why did it happen? What changed? And what does this mean heading into the 2026 midterms?

The Epstein scandal just blew wide open. Thousands of pages of documents have been released, and Donald Trump’s name is all over them. As the details pour out, Trump is doing what he always does: deflecting, yelling “Democratic hoax,” and hoping no one reads the receipts. But this time, even MAGA supporters are starting to ask questions, and behind the scenes, the White House is in full-blown panic mode. This morning, Don breaks down what’s in the latest batch of Epstein documents, why Trump’s denials are falling flat, and the big question on everyone’s mind: Will this be the scandal that finally brings Trump down, or will it vanish from the news cycle like so many others?

This is it...the smoking gun we’ve all been waiting for. The Epstein files are coming out, and it looks like there is no holding them back now. The more we learn, the clearer it becomes that Donald Trump was far more tied to Jeffrey Epstein than he ever admitted. The truth is finally pouring out, and MAGA world is in full-blown panic mode. The White House is scrambling, the spin machine is overheating, and the excuses are getting thinner by the hour. So what happens next? Is this the moment that finally cracks MAGA? Or will Trump and his loyalists try, once again, to slither out of accountability? Tonight, Don is joined by an all-star panel, Journalist @TaraPalmeri , political strategist Mike Nellis, and President & CEO of Democracy Forward Skye Perryman, to break down the documents, the fallout, and what this means for the future of the Trump movement.

Breaking news this morning: newly released Epstein files have revealed a series of emails tying Donald Trump even closer to Jeffrey Epstein. The revelations are explosive and disturbing. Trump’s been trying to rewrite history for years. But the receipts keep coming, and his efforts to distance himself from Epstein are failing spectacularly. Lawmakers are now demanding answers about what else the government is sitting on and why this evidence wasn’t released sooner. Don is joined by Congressman Robert Garcia to break down what’s in these new documents, what it means for Trump’s already crumbling credibility, and how MAGA continues to look the other way. Another day, another scandal. Another reminder that the truth always comes out. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Is Donald Trump okay? From his rambling, nonsensical answers in that Laura Ingraham interview, to forgetting the words to “God Bless America,” the signs of cognitive decline are hard to ignore. Then, we’ll be joined by The Atlantic’s Tom Nichols to break down the other headache of the week, the eight Senate Democrats who voted with Republicans to reopen the government without securing a deal on healthcare subsidies. Was this a strategic move…or just another cave? Don and Tom dig into what this means for the Democratic Party, the base, and the road ahead. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Apparently, this is what counts as a scandal now. Texas Congressman James Talarico is under fire after reports surfaced that he follows and occasionally likes posts from women with OnlyFans accounts. That’s it. No crimes. No corruption. No hypocrisy. Just… Instagram follows. Meanwhile, MAGA politicians have been caught in actual scandals, from hush money payments to sexual assault allegations, but somehow this is the story making headlines? Please. Don breaks down the absurdity of the so-called “controversy,” why it says more about our political media than about Talarico himself, and why maybe, just maybe, we could use a little perspective and a lot less fake outrage.

Let’s be honest, Trump is always a little off. But his new interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham? That was… something else. From rambling to straight-up nonsense, even Ingraham, one of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders, had to push back on some of his most absurd claims. When Fox News starts fact-checking you, you know it’s bad. This morning, Don breaks down the highlights (or lowlights) of Trump’s latest meltdown, the delusion behind his talking points, and the question we all keep asking: does the truth even matter anymore?

Don sits down with Congressman Ro Khanna, who’s making headlines after calling for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to step down. In a fiery post, Khanna wrote: “Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?” With Democrats divided over how the government shutdown was handled, and growing frustration over rising healthcare costs, many in the party are now asking the same question: Is it time for new leadership? Don and Congressman Khanna break down the growing rift inside the Democratic Party, what this moment says about accountability, and where the fight goes from here. 🍋 Learn more about your ad choices.

Don is LIVE in Washington, D.C., where outrage is boiling over after eight Senate Democrats agreed to vote with Republicans to reopen the government, without securing a deal on healthcare subsidies. That means premiums are going up, millions could lose their coverage, and once again, Democrats walked away with nothing to show for it. After the massive blue wave on Tuesday, many saw it as a clear mandate to stand up to Trump’s cruel policies, not to fold under pressure. So what was this all even for? Don breaks it down live from the Capitol, where Democrats are getting roasted by voters and their own base for caving when it mattered most. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

After a massive blue wave on Tuesday, Democrats had the wind at their backs and a clear mandate to stand up to Trump’s cruel policies. But instead? Eight Senate Democrats voted with Republicans to reopen the government... without securing a deal on healthcare subsidies. Now, premiums are set to rise, millions could lose coverage, and MAGA walks away with yet another win. For what? What was all this even for if Democrats were just going to fold without getting anything in return? Don goes off on the hypocrisy, the spinelessness, and the utter lack of fight that keeps landing this party right back where it started. Learn more about your ad choices.

After a massive blue wave on Tuesday, you’d think Democrats would ride that momentum and keep fighting Trump’s cruel policies. But nope, eight Senate Democrats just voted with Republicans to reopen the government without securing a deal on healthcare subsidies. That means premiums are going up, millions could lose coverage, and MAGA gets another win, all because Democrats blinked first. Again. This morning, Don is joined by friends of the show Jolly, Michael Fanone, Reecie Colbert, and Jack Cocchiarella to break down what this means for healthcare, the midterms, and the Democratic Party’s backbone. Because after the week Democrats just had, this fold stings. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics. Go to https://zbiotics.com/LEMON and use LEMON at checkout for 15% off first time orders.

Can Democrats keep the momentum going, and should MAGA be worried? Speaker Scott joins Don to unpack the numbers, the strategy, and the growing movement reshaping American politics.
