This week on Politix, Matt and Brian discuss:
The biggest political takeaways from Joe Biden’s State of the Union address;
Whether the press corps will do any soul searching after getting bamboozled by Republican special counsel Robert Hur;
Can Politix convince Merrick Garland to resign?
Then, paid subscribers get a deep analysis of Trump’s apparent (and abrupt) decision to place Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block, after years of insisting he’d never cut them. What precipitated the reversal? Does it have anything to do with his simultaneous reversals on the right-wing Bud Light boycott and the fate of TikTok, the Chinese-owned social-media company? Did he sell his position on entitlements to right-wing billionaires because he’s desperate for campaign and legal-expense money? And what can Democrats do to drive. If you’re interested in the answers to these questions, upgrade to paid, and enjoy the whole episode!
