Episode notes
Voters Feel Prices More Than Economic Reports

- David Pakman highlights examples of people saying $150 for basics and choosing between gas and groceries as politically decisive details.
Epstein Subpoenas Forecast Constant Oversight
- Subpoenaing top DOJ figures over the Epstein files would make Republican leadership's political lives a daily cycle of oversight if Democrats win the House.
- Pakman notes Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche were subpoenaed and frames it as a preview of sustained investigations.
Use Midterms To Restore Oversight And Shift Narrative
- If Democrats regain the House, use investigative authority to shift the news cycle away from Trump-controlled narratives.
