Joan is joined by Democratic strategist Peter Fenn, who discussed the importance of Democrats resisting Donald Trump's policies through legal efforts and organizing at the grassroots level to take back the House of Representatives in 2026. Fenn warned of the dangers of Trump's authoritarian tendencies, comparing them to Hungary's Viktor Orbán. He also criticized Trump and Elon Musk for their self-serving policies, particularly the tax cuts benefiting the wealthy and the impact on programs like Head Start and Medicaid. Fenn is the author of Fenn Daily.
