Trump’s Forever War Hits Home. More Threats. And Another Ice Killing.DC Guard Extended Through 2029.
About this episode
Paul Rieckhoff discusses the implications of Trump's actions on domestic issues and the political landscape ahead of the midterms.
Trump's forever war isn't in Venezuela or Greenland anymore. It's on the home front. National Guard deployments in Washington have been quietly extended through 2029, ICE has killed two more people during vehicle stops in a single week, and Trump is now planning a prime-time address to reopen his case against the 2020 election. Paul Rieckhoff walks through why this is the moment — with Lindsey Graham gone, Mitch McConnell sidelined, and the midterms looming as the last real circuit breaker on executive power — that the pieces are being moved into place.
