Jonathan V. Last: Bullet Train to the Dark Place
Feb 3, 2025
Jonathan V. Last, Editor at The Bulwark, dives deep into the current political landscape, asserting we're already facing a constitutional crisis under Trump 2.0. He critiques the administration's strategies to undermine the legislative branch and questions if it will heed judicial rulings. Last argues Democrats should conserve their political efforts instead of mitigating Trump's policy excesses. The conversation also tackles the media's failure, particularly The New York Times, in addressing urgent democratic issues while reflecting on political extremism and public perception.
