You’re hearing a preview of the Weekender. Get the full episode, bonus shows, and access to our community by subscribing here: http://patreon.com/muckrakepodcast. Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman dig into Trump’s latest authoritarian talk, from musing about skipping elections to floating Insurrection Act crackdowns. They break down reports of ICE ramp-ups in places like Maine, the expanding surveillance network tied to it, and why Democratic leaders keep blinking. Then it’s the Greenland talk, NATO fallout, and why chaos, outages, and “testing the fence” all feel like the point. They close with what they’re reading and watching, and a frank check-in on how to keep your bearings when the news cycle is a blender.
