Nicole Sandler opens with the weekend's wildest news before sitting down with Micah Sifry, who mapped 236 pro-democracy Substacks and found what he believes is a troubling pattern: alarm is winning over action. Then Dr. Art Jipson, professor of sociology at the University of Dayton, joins the conversation to bring a social science lens to movement burnout, political agency, and why grievance alone can't sustain a resistance. Plus: Viktor Orbán is out after 16 years, Trump declares war on the Pope, the Eric Swalwell situation, and comedian JL Cauvin doing what he does best.
