Mike Sozan, senior fellow for Democracy Policy at the Center for American Progress Action Fund, joins the show to discuss how Republicans might attack U.S. democracy, the importance of the Senate confirmation process, and what progressives from the local to national level can do to protect Americans’ rights and freedoms. Colin and Erin also talk about how states and nonprofits are preparing for a second Trump administration and what COP29 could reveal about the uncertain future of U.S. climate leadership.
