Hey folks,
Don Lemon and I dig deep into Trump’s dangerous power plays — from militarizing D.C. to redistricting on steroids — and why it’s all about clinging to power, not helping people or improving their lives. We also get real about what Democrats must do right now: clarity, authenticity, and some damn fire in the belly.
Here’s where the action kicks in:
00:01:25 — Why Trump’s militarized D.C. stunt is more about distraction than safety — and how it’s pulling the FBI off actual crime fighting.
00:03:29 — The GOP’s mid-game redistricting scheme: how it warps democracy and why it signals deep political weakness.
00:08:56 — The “Epstein derangement syndrome” effect — depressing Trump’s base and igniting the opposition.
00:14:01 — The candidates voters are willing to take a risk on — and the brutal truth about why establishment types keep losing.
00:22:01 — Shocking scenes from Georgetown’s empty streets — camo-clad federal agents strolling while real crimes go uninvestigated.
If hearing the unvarnished truth about all this matters to you — if you believe in arming yourself with the kind of context you won’t get on cable news — become a paid subscriber right now. It keeps this work independent, urgent, and fearless.
With urgency,
—Mike
