Today’s show examines how retribution and election control are becoming explicit parts of national politics. As Trump’s Justice Department ramps up investigations that critics say target political opponents, new reporting reveals internal shake-ups, demotions, and a growing focus on “weaponization” priorities.

We also break down Trump’s escalating call to “nationalize” elections, his renewed claims of illegal voting, and what a federal takeover of voting could actually mean in practice. Finally, we look at the unanswered questions surrounding Tulsi Gabbard — including her proximity to a Georgia election center search, conflicting explanations from Trump allies, and a classified whistleblower complaint that appears to be stalled.

Retribution, elections, and power — colliding in real time.
