Texas Democrats Working Remote

In This Episode

Texas Democrats, in an attempt to block Trump’s redistricting effort, shut down a special legislative session by fleeing the state. Texas State Rep. James Talarico joins the show to explain what happens now and why he and his Democratic colleagues believe that getting out of town is the best way to serve their constituents in this moment. Then, Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss Trump’s decision to fire the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison, new reporting about who’s sending all those annoying fundraising texts, and, of course, Trump’s comments on the most important story of the moment: Sydney Sweeney’s jeans.
