Trump's a Lame Duck Now | It's the Democracy, Stupid with Edwin Eisendrath & Mike Nellis
The shutdown’s collapse exposes Republican cruelty and the hollow logic driving their entire governing strategy.

Oligarchic power now shapes everything from the Epstein coverup to the affordability crisis crushing families.
Trump’s looming veto and shrinking influence signal a party preparing for a lame-duck presidency.
Democrats face a choice between reviving broken systems or rebuilding institutions that actually serve people.
Edwin Eisendrath and Mike Nellis — former senior adviser to Kamala Harris before she became VP — frame the week as proof that the GOP’s project isn’t governance but domination, from starving families during the shutdown to shielding billionaires in the Epstein files. They argue the throughline is oligarchy, not ideology, and that Democrats will need leaders who understand power rather than fear it. The impending veto fight over the Epstein files exposes the moment Trump shifts from merely embattled to politically radioactive, as Republicans are forced to publicly choose between accountability and submission. ICE’s Greg Bovino is a symbol of how far the GOP base is willing to go in rewarding cruelty as a governing philosophy. Mike pushes for Democrats to reject technocrats and incrementalism, insisting the next phase is about rebuilding institutions instead of resurrecting Trump-damaged systems.
