Show Notes

It has been a record-breaking year for Congress, but not in the way they would hope. Guest host Melissa Murray is joined by Molly Jong-Fast and Steve Benen on the way the institution of Congress has fallen in 2025; plus, Dr. Uche Blackstock on how America’s healthcare system broke in 2025; and Brad Lander and Maria Hinojosa on how the strength of communities coming together in collective responsibility for their neighbors is challenging the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant propaganda machine.
