  • Backroom Deals, MAGA Madness, and a Signal Screw-Up — Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th) Breaks It Down

    Backroom Deals, MAGA Madness, and a Signal Screw-Up — Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th) Breaks It Down
    Mar 27 2025
    Join me for a one-on-one discussion with fmr. House Majority Whip Congressman Jim Clyburn (D-SC 6th). We’re breaking down a wild week in Washington: Senate brinkmanship narrowly averts a government shutdown as Chuck Schumer and 9 Senate Democrats throw their support behind a Republican-crafted funding bill—dodging disaster, but igniting Democratic backlash in the process. Meanwhile, Donald Trump rants about “weaponized justice,” conveniently ignoring the fact that his own administration handed a journalist front-row access to a classified war planning group chat on Signal. Yes, that actually happened. We unpack the staggering incompetence of Trump-world, the GOP’s dangerous double standards on national security, and why Rep. Clyburn believes this moment requires not just resistance—but reinvention of how Democrats communicate and govern. From MAGA chaos to judicial power grabs by Jim Jordan and his crew, this episode cuts through the noise and asks: how do we defend democracy when one party keeps lighting matches? This isn’t just politics as usual. It’s power, hypocrisy, and the future of the republic—all on the line.
