Some big moves in Senate primary races, including Maine, the bad vibes from the Supreme Court on the Voting Rights Act and what it means for control of Congress, and why you need to get out there to a No Kings protest on Saturday.

You'll also hear Tommy's conversation with our friend Brian Schatz about the shutdown and all the latest news.

But let's start with what our aspiring American dictator has been up to.

Trump has ordered the federal government's vast army of prosecutors and FBI agents to prioritize charging and arresting Americans who have criticized the president, even if there's insufficient evidence that they've committed a crime.

Trump's regime has already brought charges against Jim Comey and Letitia James.

John Bolton might be indicted by the time you hear this.

Trump's IRS has reportedly drawn up a list of left-leaning groups and major Democratic donors they're preparing to launch criminal investigations into.

Here he is on Wednesday, flanked by the attorney general and the FBI director.

Getting into Pod Save America guests now, Dan.

Adam Schiff, Andrew Weissman.

So one of the many concerns I have about all this is the announcement of each new indictment or investigation like generates less coverage and outrage and shock than the last.

And then pretty soon, you know, we become numb to all of it.

Yeah, exactly.

And I think if you were just a regular American watching all this, you think to yourself, well, I'm not Jim Comey.

I'm not Adam Schiff.

I'm not John Bolton.

Like, I'm not a prominent Democrat.
