Divisions in Democracy: A Comparative Analysis

100 days. That's how long Donald Trump's been in office in 2025.

While this moment is usually a time to measure how the administration is faring, in many ways, the administration is a reflection of who we are as a nation.

We discuss what we're learning about who we are as Americans during this time. What do we want, and what do we stand for?

There have been executive orders, Signal group chats, federal agency cuts, firings, rehirings, ignored judicial rulings, billionaires, memes, tariffs, and so much more.

As we all take stock of the national implications of his Administration's moves, for this episode, we want to get a little more personal. We hear from you on how your life has changed since Trump took office for the second time.
