Salena Zito returned to “2WAY Tonight” to break down the day’s news—from NYC Mayor Eric Adams vowing to stay in the race, to Trump’s plan to rename the Department of Defense and his nod to Kevin Hassett as a possible Fed chair—plus a look ahead to 2028 and her morning in a coal mine.

THIS WEEK:

Ethan Strauss welcomed Joe Pompliano, host of “The Joe Pompliano Show,” on the latest episode of“Random Offense.”

********

Michael Moynihan led the return of “The Group Chat.”

********

Bridget Phetasy covered the decline of free speech in America on “Real America.”

********

Meghan McCain broke down the alleged Epstein survivors, Trump’s death hoax, and Newsom’s rise in California on “Citizen McCain.”

“NEXT UP”

I opened Thursday’s new episode of “Next Up” with my reported monologue on the viral “Trump is dead” rumors and how they mirrored the 1969 “Paul is dead” controversy about Paul McCartney.

Then I spoke with Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri about his new best-selling book, the courts as the GOP’s “Last Line of Defense,” and the Republican agenda heading into 2028.

Finally, Politico’s Rachael Bade joined me to share her reporting on Trump’s evolving relationship with congressional Republicans, the shifting power dynamics on Capitol Hill, the Democrats and 2028, and Washington’s social circuit in the Trump era.
