31:33Now Playing"This is not a left-right fight. This is an existential fight against a substantial threat to our democracy."
This is how Edwin Eisendrath kicked off our conversation today that ran the gamut from the economy tanking to the Texas gerrymandering gambit to Trump’s desperate attempts to distract from the Epstein scandal. (If you haven’t read Edwin’s takedown of the right’s attempt to make a Sydney Sweeney jeans ad a Very Big Thing, you should. We’ll link to it below).
Every week, Edwin, a radio host and former Chicago Sun-Times CEO, joins Executive Editor Susan J. Demas to talk about the latest political news, but it’s always through this lens. These are not normal times and there’s no use pretending otherwise. Our Democracy is under assault, every day, by the Trump Administration and Republicans across the country.
So the question becomes: What do we do to fight back? This week, Texas Democrats are standing up against the gerrymander plot hatched by Trump and Gov. Greg Abbott. This is all happening because Trump is scared that Republicans are going to lose the 2026 midterms so he’s ordered Texas to find him five more GOP seats. But Democrats aren’t rolling over and have left the state to stop the process.
More of that, please.
By the way, we’ve heard from you in the comments how much you love Edwin’s articles and lives. So we’re planning to have him on Lincoln Square more soon. Let us know who you’d be interested in seeing him interview!
