About this episode

Nancy Scola, Contributing Writer at Politico Magazine, joins The Realignment. Marshall and Nancy discuss the varied factors that determine which new ideas win out in Washington, the role of the mainstream and alternative media ecosystems in shaping politics and policy, the case study of former Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan and the revival of the antitrust movement, and which ideas are on the rise in Washington six months into the second Trump administration.
