Brian Tyler Cohen returns to Find Out for a conversation built around his new book, How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World, out July 14th. The crew breaks down why Democrats keep defaulting to process and "strongly worded letters" instead of delivering outcomes, and why Cohen thinks the party's era of conferring goodwill to bad-faith negotiators has to end. They dig into generational change in Democratic leadership, the case for Supreme Court expansion (including a revealing anecdote about Gavin Newsom coming around on the idea), and why accountability for Trump-era corruption — from insider trading to crypto grifts — can't take a backseat to a policy agenda. Cohen also talks about building the independent media ecosystem through his organization Chorus, why the left needs more voices rather than fewer, and what actually moved the needle in 2024.
