Biden passed the most ambitious climate legislation in American history. Trump just shredded it. What does that mean for the future of renewable energy in America? Where does the climate movement go from here? And is it too late for us to avert climate catastrophe?
To answer these questions, I invited onto the show two climate experts: Jesse Jenkins, who is a leading climate modeler and a professor at Princeton University, where he runs the Princeton ZERO Lab, and Jane Flegal, who is the executive director of the Blue Horizons Foundation and served on the Biden administration’s climate policy team.
We discuss how far Trump’s policies have set us back, the lessons the climate movement should learn from this loss and what the next wave of climate politics may look like.

Your suspicions were correct: according to The Wall Street Journal, Trump’s name is in the Epstein files—and the Attorney General told him so all the way back in May. Trump responds with more lies, obfuscations, and distractions, accusing Barack Obama of treason, and sending Tulsi Gabbard out to try to prove the case without the benefit of facts or specifics. Dan and Jon discuss all the latest, including DOJ’s overtures to Ghislaine Maxwell, Trump's awkward stunt at the Fed building, and two federal judges ordering the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia as he awaits trial. Then, Tommy sits down with Senator Mark Warner to discuss Trump’s treason accusations and what the intelligence community actually concluded about Russian election-meddling in 2016.

Is there an "omniconspiracy" of the American elites? And we take a look at the remarkable deal struck between the administration and Columbia University. Give a listen.

Co-founder of Justice Democrats and former communications director for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Corbin Trent talks AOC’s excuses for voting against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s amendment to pull weapons funding to Israel, whether AOC’s failures are evidence that it’s impossible to work within the Democratic Party, the Democrats’ hesitation to exploit Epstein, and how establishment Dems work to defeat not only progressive electeds but bedrock progressive policies like expanding abortion access.
