Lame Duck Era

This week on AntiSpiral, I break down why Trump's power has always depended on the perception of his power, and why we're starting to see that illusion crack. From Republicans rebuking his agenda and the House passing the War Powers Resolution to courts blocking some of his biggest moves, the systems designed to check presidential power are actually working, even if they don't always make the headlines.  Plus, quick hits on the gerrymandering war, Bill Pulte's disastrous appointment and Hunter Biden's unexpected Twitter comeback era. As always, we’re calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.
