Senator Schmitt hits the long ball with this hire.

If a right-wing movement had burned down a governor’s mansion, murdered two foreign diplomats & firebombed kids and elderly people at a peaceful protest — in the span of a few weeks — what would the coverage look like? What sort of “national conversation” would we be having?

For decades, polls showed Dems had a double-digit edge on the party who looked out for/was the party of the middle class. Polls now show the GOP/Trump have totally eliminated that gap. This comes as the GOP maintains a ~10 pt lead on the economy, after 4 months of Trump.

Under Budget rules, this Congress can do 3 total reconciliation bills (FY25, FY26, FY27). So get ready for Son of BBB

Man, if only they had a chance to shape the bill prior to now

Contrary to the general mood around the Trump-Elon explosion, on the pod we agree the breakup means Congress is likely to speed up reconciliation. PLUS POLITICO's Dasha Burns joins to talk about Musk's rise and fall in Trumpworld. w/ Brendan Buck open.spotify.com/episode/5XrRLu…

I think Mike Johnson and I are the only people in DC who still see July 4th as a realistic deadline for the reconciliation bill. But it remains entirely reasonable! Stretch this out longer for... what exactly? We dive into this and much more on the pod this week. w/

We're also joined by the great Dasha Burns of POLITICO to talk about the Trump Elon blow up, her call with Trump, and how the whole thing may affect OBBB. Plus she talks about her new show. Check it out! open.spotify.com/episode/5XrRLu…
