Subscriber Zoom Recording

Watch the Feb 5th Zoom here.

If you missed last night’s subscriber Zoom, you’ll find the recording below. We discussed DOGE, its legality, and the choice facing civil servants contemplating the buyout. We talked about the different interest groups in the Trump coalition; the courts, why Senate Republicans are preserving their political capital right now, and the upcoming spending fight. Also: is Trump at the apex of his power? Lessons from other countries and more. At the end I share some strategies to manage news anxiety and ways to think about the information you consume.

To those of you asking why I didn’t get the playback up sooner, please understand we are a small operation run by humans not AI. It takes us a minute to get it downloaded, edited, uploaded and ready to send. I know you are eager so we are getting this out with a less than 24 hour turnaround (honestly, that’s pretty fast). Thank you for your understanding and excitement to receive it.

Hope you find this helpful!
