36 Days into the shutdown

Thirty-six days into a government shutdown and no sign of movement. In our latest Practically Political episode, Dave, Kurt Bardella and I look beyond the headlines to ask what prolonged dysfunction really means for leadership, public trust, and policy outcomes.

We dig into:

✔️ How a record-length shutdown is testing both parties’ strategies, and their messaging.

✔️ Whether the Supreme Court will finally check executive power on tariffs.

✔️ And how the broader credibility of U.S. institutions holds up under this sustained gridlock.

As always it's a candid, unfiltered look at a country at a crossroads, where political theatre meets real-world consequences. Listen to Practically Political wherever you get your podcasts.
