Inside with Jen Psaki starts now. Okay. We spend a lot of time on this show grabbing the threat of a second trump term, and we do that because it is extremely important to understand what could be coming and what the stakes are. But i know that at times, that can all feel kind of dark. And really depressing. Are we all just trudging through the Mud Of Politics together with no End Or Light insight . But i have to say, lately i havent felt that way at all. Not because trump has gone away. But because there is just this kind of new energy in the air.
