Show by The Politics Guys - Government Democracy & News
In this supporters' exclusive midweek episode, Mike and Michael examine what Democrats' sweeping midterm victories mean for the next two years of Trump's presidency, Justice Elena Kagan's criticism of the Supreme Court, and Trump's surprising announcement about military aid to Israel.The guys start with the lame-duck Congress, government funding, potential impeachment proceedings, and the Democrats' legislative and investigative priorities. They debate whether Democrats should impeach Trump, what the midterms mean for MAGA's future, and whether eliminating the Senate filibuster makes sense. Next, they examine Kagan's argument that conservative Supreme Court rulings on voting rights, gerrymandering, and campaign finance have damaged American democracy. Mike and Michael disagree sharply over whether justices should consider the broader political consequences of their decisions, while exploring possible Supreme Court reforms. Finally, they discuss Trump's plan to end military aid to Israel, shifting American public opinion, Israel's uncertain governing coalition, and the growing divisions over Israel within the Democratic Party.Michael's SubstackThe Politics Guys on Facebook | XListener support helps make The Politics Guys possible.
