In politics, you’re often told not to get lost in the weeds. But we love the weeds! That’s where politics becomes policy – the stuff that shapes our lives. Every Tuesday and Friday, Matthew Yglesias is joined by Ezra Klein, Dara Lind, Jane Coaston and other Vox voices to dig into the weeds on important national issues, including healthcare, immigration, housing, and everything else that matters. Produced by Vox and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Is This a “Break Glass in Emergency” Moment?: <p>Donald Trump says he's never even heard of Brett McGurk, but that's what he says whenever he feels jilted. On today's episode of Deep State Radio, Rosa Brooks stands in for David Rothkopf as host, and DSR regulars Ryan Goodman and David Sanger are joined by Brett McGurk, who hurt Trump's feelings very badly when he resigned as Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL in late 2018. Rosa, Brett, David and Ryan talk about whether the last week has been a "break glass in emergency" moment for the nation's senior military leaders, whether everyone left in the Trump administration should resign en masse, and whether the US need an ROTC-type program for future diplomats. David admits to having a pet cow, Rosa defends the ugly chair in her Zoom background and admires Sebastian Gorka's leather vest, and Kori Schake's laugh is sorely missed.

Ep. 785 Rachel Maddow Drops a Bombshell and Doesn't Even Know It: Summary: Rachel Maddow dropped a bombshell about the Russian collusion hoax this week, yet she seems unaware of the consequences of what she’s asking for. I also address new information about the framing of the Trump team, which will blow up the insane media narratives. News Picks:This Margot Cleveland piece addresses some questions about the information laundering operation being run by Bruce Ohr. Donny Deutsch just said something disgusting about the Secret Service. This piece debunks liberal nonsense about net neutrality. Chicago is out of control. Something has to change. The disingenuous media is trying to give Obama credit for the Trump economy. This Lee Smith piece addresses the real scandal behind the Trump Tower meeting. Copyright CRTV.
