  • Summary

  • Top Trump officials are embroiled in a scandal after they accidentally included a journalist on an insecure text thread containing top secret military information. David French, a former military lawyer, explains why this is a no laughing matter, what it says about the administration's competency, and why there is unlikely to be any consequences for those at fault. Then, Skye and David discuss the future of the Democratic Party. Can they distance themselves from their fringe activists groups? What will it take for working-class Americans to reconsider their allegiance to Trump? And will they use this opportunity to genuinely reform the party, or just wait for MAGA to implode?
