After all of the ICE arrests, the National Guard deployments to American cities, the DOGE cuts, the gutting of USAID, tariffs, wars in Venezuela and Iran and Nigeria and Syria and ALL THE THINGS — Trump is focusing his end-of-year energy on … Bad Bunny and the NFL.
It’s the stupidest ending to the stupidest year. Between his fights with corporations and his vandalism of the Kennedy Center, one of America’s premier cultural centers, it’s become clear that all of the other controversies, while more dangerous and with higher stakes, are in the same spirit of stupidity.
But this is why we can’t have nice things. What Trump has done to the Kennedy Center is what he is doing to America every single day.
The question remains: how do we fix this?
Jeff Timmer, COO of the Lincoln Project and friend of the show, joins to talk about the potential meltdown in the Republican Party and the opportunities Dems face in the coming year.
Whether Democrats will seize those opportunities remains to be seen.
*As for the Lincoln Project, expect more like the following for ‘26. They won’t stop fighting, and neither will we.
Tune in for a wide-ranging conversation on culture, power, and what resistance actually looks like right now.
