While Tim's work takes him far afield, Jeb calls in air support from Megan Carpentier, former op-ed editor for The Guardian's US bureau and Jeb's former boss. Together they look over how Trump sabotaged his First 100 Days, how people (and not think tanks) understand taxes, feel relieved that they don't have to cover the Trumpless White House Correspondents' Dinner, and then Megan takes the wheel to guide us through a recent DOJ request and the future of contraception under Obamacare.
