Part of a Series

Former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) joins the show to discuss the national implications of Donald Trump and Republicans’ radical ploy to further erode democracy in Texas and how to fight back in this political moment. Colin also talks with Daniella about the origins and history of “The Tent” and bids her farewell as she departs the Center for American Progress Action Fund for a new adventure.

The positions of American Progress, and our policy experts, are independent, and the findings and conclusions presented are those of American Progress alone. American Progress would like to acknowledge the many generous supporters who make our work possible.
