Trump also signs the Epstein files bill while claiming credit and deflecting from the scandal.
The president threatens to execute sitting members of Congress for reminding troops about their constitutional oath. This isn't hyperbole anymore—it's where we are. When Dick Cheney looks like the reasonable one, you know the party has lost its mind.

What's covered: Progressive commentary on Trump's escalating threats against Democratic Congress members, calling their reminder to troops about refusing illegal orders "seditious behavior punishable by death." The video examines the White House's defense of these threats and their implications for democracy.
Six veterans in Congress remind troops they can refuse illegal orders, and Trump responds by threatening to kill them. This is the playbook of every authoritarian in history. Republicans who stay silent are complicit in this assault on constitutional governance.

What's covered: Senator Elizabeth Warren discusses Trump's death threats against Congress members and the need to stand behind those defending constitutional principles. She also addresses the government shutdown and healthcare crisis facing millions of Americans.
Warren's right that we need to protect members who stand up for the Constitution. What's missing is where the hell are the Republicans? Trump threatens to execute their colleagues and they're surgically unable to find their spines.
Veterans to Trump: We Don't Obey Illegal Orders, You Wannabe Dictator

The video also covers Trump's tanking approval ratings and economic struggles.
When the White House spokeswoman has to answer "does the president want to execute members of Congress," you're not in a normal presidency. And the most damning part? Trump's own tells show he knows exactly what illegal orders he's planning.
Trump SIGNED The Epstein Accountability Act. What Happens Next?
What's covered: Analysis of Trump's forced signing of the Epstein files bill after months of resistance and a successful discharge petition led by Marjorie Taylor Greene. The DOJ now has 30 days to release documents, with expected redactions and loopholes.
Trump got rolled by MTG and Lauren Boebert. First time he's lost a fight inside his own party. The question isn't whether the files will be redacted—it's whether there will be enough left to read after Pam Bondi gets through with them.
Trump Calls for Jimmy Kimmel to Be Fired AGAIN, Threatens Members of Congress & Signs Epstein Bill
What's covered: Kimmel covers Trump's middle-of-the-night attack demanding ABC fire him, the president's threats to execute Democratic lawmakers, and the ceremonial signing of the Epstein files bill. The video includes the absurd White House press briefing defending Trump's "frankness" in calling reporters "piggy."
The sitting president watches late-night comedy at 12:49 AM, demands a host be fired, threatens Congress with death, and his press secretary says it's all just "frankness." This is what happens when a party abandons principles for personality cult.

She's calling for Dimon to testify under oath before the Banking Committee.
Follow the money. JPMorgan serviced a convicted sex offender with 134 accounts and billion-dollar transactions. If principled conservatives still care about accountability for the powerful, this is it. Warren's right to demand answers under oath.
This Was a HUGE Embarrassment for Trump (w/ Susan Glasser)
What's covered: Bulwark Podcast with Susan Glasser examining Trump's capitulation on the Epstein files after shutting down the House for two months, his secret Ukraine peace plan that essentially adopts Russia's demands, and his embarrassing state visit with Saudi Crown Prince MBS. The episode explores Trump's tanking approval ratings and economic failures.
Bulwark nails it: Trump lost to MTG and Boebert after shutting down Congress for two months. Meanwhile, his Ukraine "peace plan" is literally Russia's wishlist from 2022. This is weakness masquerading as strength, and voters are noticing.
White House Pushes New 28-Point Peace Plan with Concessions Ukraine Previously Rejected
What's covered: PBS NewsHour obtained the Trump administration's 28-point Ukraine peace plan, which includes security guarantees but also demands Ukraine cede territory, cap its military, and accept NATO troop bans. The plan essentially adopts longstanding Russian demands while European allies push back strongly.
Trump's negotiating brilliance: give Putin everything he wants, force Ukraine to disarm, and call it peace. This isn't dealmaking—it's capitulation dressed up in 28 points. Reagan would be ashamed.
A Trump Judge Called Texas Gerrymander Illegal—Now What?
What's covered: The Bulwark discusses a Trump-appointed federal judge ruling that Texas's congressional maps are illegally gerrymandered to dilute Latino voting power. Rep. Lizzie Fletcher joins to discuss the implications for redistricting fights and Trump's pressure campaign on Republican state legislators.
Even a Trump judge can see Texas crossed the line. When the maps are so bad that your own appointee calls them illegal, you've lost the rule-of-law argument. This is the GOP choosing power over principles.
Texas Judge Slams Redistricting Challenges
What's covered: Analysis of federal court rulings on Texas redistricting and the broader Republican push for mid-cycle gerrymandering to capture additional House seats. Trump's pressure on state legislators is creating unprecedented constitutional tensions.

What's covered: Liz Cheney delivers a powerful eulogy for her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, reflecting on his devotion to America, study of history, and unwavering commitment to constitutional duty over party loyalty. The service was notably not attended by Trump or Vance.
Cheney's eulogy captures what's been lost—devotion to constitution over party, study of history, actual service. That Trump and Vance weren't invited speaks volumes. Even in death, Cheney represents the conservatism MAGA destroyed.
How the Culture Promotes Anti-Semitism
What's covered: Commentary Magazine examines protests outside synagogues, the National Book Awards going to anti-Israel writers promoting false genocide narratives, and the broader cultural institutions rewarding political propaganda. The discussion covers Hillel's failures and the upcoming Hochul-Stefanik race.
Commentary documents the rot in cultural institutions—from book awards to campus protests. When every prize goes to anti-Israel propaganda and synagogues need police protection, the culture has abandoned principle for fashion.
Mr. Mamdani Goes to Washington
What's covered: Politico Playbook covers Trump's upcoming Oval Office meeting with NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, plus exclusive reporting on Trump's redistricting pressure campaign in Indiana and Obama's efforts to mentor freshman House Democrats out of the political wilderness.
Trump meeting with the communist NYC mayor-elect is peak theater. Meanwhile, Trump's bullying Indiana Republicans over redistricting shows he's more worried about rigging 2026 than governing. The party's lost its way completely.
WATCH: Vance Responds to Mamdani's 'Affordability' Agenda, Says Democrats Hurt Economy
What's covered: JD Vance discusses the Trump-Mamdani meeting, defends the government shutdown as Democrats' fault, and asks Americans for patience as egg prices remain elevated. He blames the Biden administration for economic hardship while promising future improvement.
Vance blaming Democrats for the shutdown Trump demanded is gaslighting at industrial scale. And asking for patience on egg prices when Trump promised day-one results? Voters remember what was promised versus what was delivered.
Who Ordered the CDC Autism Guidance Rewrite?
What's covered: Investigation into the Trump administration's rewriting of CDC autism guidance, raising questions about political interference in public health messaging and the influence of anti-vaccine activists on federal health policy.
When political appointees rewrite CDC guidance on autism, science takes a backseat to ideology. This is what happens when conspiracy theorists get access to federal agencies. Public health shouldn't be subject to culture war manipulation.
