Just days ago, on January 2nd, the world watched as the United States launched a mission to apprehend and extract Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

Maine Governor Janet Mills joins Find Out for a blunt conversation about something too many Democrats still tiptoe around: standing up to Donald Trump. Mills discusses how she’s actually fought Trump , defended democracy, and delivered results in a state that rewards strength—not spin. We also get into why the myth of Susan Collins as a “moderate” survivor needs to die, and why Mills makes the case that clear contrasts, backbone, and a real record are exactly what it will take to beat Collins in 2026.  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast  📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast  📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com

Democrats keep their win streak alive in special elections, while Trump completely melts down over, well, everything.Across a series of special elections, Democrats have been outperforming expectations, even in districts once reliably Republican. We’ll explore why Democratic candidates are winning and whether this momentum can carry into the 2026 midterms. At the same time, the GOP — and especially Donald Trump — find themselves in a bind. Trump-endorsed candidates have stumbled in high-profile races, and analysts are calling his influence “kryptonite” for some Republican hopefuls, particularly among key demographic groups like Latino voters. 👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast  📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast  📥 Send us feedback and tips: hello@findoutpodcast.com
