Show notes
Sam Bushman and Curt Crosby break down why so many of Trump's biggest goals are stalling out, and who is really to blame. From the shutdown of Alligator Alcatraz to Medicaid fraud crackdowns, the Reflecting Pool renovation, border tech, and the Senate's war powers failure, this episode makes the case that Congress, not the president, is the biggest obstacle to real change. Plus, a justice-and-mercy immigration plan that might actually unite Americans.
