Two weeks into the government shutdown, the pain is starting to show — from closed museums to unpaid workers. Scott and Jessica break down who’s getting blamed, how long it could drag on, and Trump’s move to keep troops funded. Then, they dig into Project 2025 — the far-right blueprint that’s already halfway implemented — and what it means for democracy and Democrats heading into 2026. Plus, the No Kings protests return as millions gear up to march against authoritarianism.
