Jessica sits down with New York Times national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher to unpack President Trump’s unprecedented takeover of D.C.’s police force — even as crime hits a 30-year low — the redistricting battle in Texas that could reshape the House map, and the aggressive countermoves from blue states. They also explore why Democrats are betting on military veterans to win swing districts in 2026, and how Republicans are preparing for a post-Trump era.
