Brad is first joined by Mabinty Quarshie, National Political Reporter for the Washington Examiner.
The pair begins their interview by discussing the bombshell report that the Secretary of Defense accidentally texted a reporter IMPENDING WAR PLANS on a non-government group chat that included the Vice President, Secretary of State, National Security Advisor and Homeland Security Advisor!...who all also replied on the thread, with none of them realizing the Reporter was on the thread, in plain sight!!!
They also examine Trump's plan to gut the Department of Education, whether his relationship with Elon Musk is becoming strained, and why the Republicans could deeply regret messing with Social Security checks.
Then, Mica Soellner, Congressional Reporter for Punchbowl News, talks about the Congressional response to the bombshell Atlantic report about the Trump administration texting a reporter war plans.
She and Brad also examine the divisions among Congressional Democrats following Senator Schumer's vote to advance the Republicans' continuing resolution.
Brad writes a political column every Sunday for 'The Hill.'
He's on the National Journal's panel of political insiders and is a national political analyst for WGN TV and Radio in Chicago and KNX Radio in Los Angeles. You can read Brad's columns at www.MuckRack.com/Brad-Bannon. His handle on BlueSky is @bradbannon.bsky.social.
