Episode notes
Use Mass Mobilization To Shift Optics
- Mobilize mass demonstrations regularly to signal broad dissent and erode Trump's image of total control.
- Convert non-voters into active participants; large mobilizations shape elite and voter behavior.

- Republicans largely remain silent or defer to Trump even when actions violate the Emoluments Clause.
- Raskin says GOP support now risks cementing a norm where future presidents loot the government without consequence.
Comer Claims No Trump Link; Moskowitz Pushes Release
- Jared Moskowitz mocked James Comer's claim that Epstein files "don't implicate Trump," urging release of the files.
- He described House GOP maneuvers to avoid votes and elongate the shutdown to block those disclosures.
