Nathan J. Robinson, editor in chief of Current Affairs, joins Eugene Puryear and Rania Khalek to discuss the Democrats’ latest stunning capitulation to Trump, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent joined Republicans to end the government shutdown with zero meaningful concessions. The deal offers virtually nothing to Democrats, fails to extend key healthcare subsidies, and sets the stage for millions to lose insurance and see premiums skyrocket. With outrage mounting and calls growing for Chuck Schumer’s resignation, Robison discusses why the Democratic Party is seemingly more committed to donor interests than being “an actual fighting party with effective opposition.” #breakthroughnews
