Plan E: Elon Musk Fuels GOP Chaos as Congress Barely Averts Shutdown

  • Summary

  • Jen Psaki recaps the utter chaos that unfolded on Capitol Hill this past week as Elon Musk's influence over Donald Trump and the House Republican caucus was on full display. Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries joins Jen to discuss the last-minute scramble in Congress to avert a government shutdown and the challenges of governing in the age of Trump. Next, Jen is joined by Punchbowl Congressional Reporter Melanie Zanona and Republican strategist Doug Heye to discuss Mike Johnson's future as speaker of the house as Trump and some of his allies express doubts about him. Then, Jen breaks down the Musk of it all, as he spreads dangerous misinformation on X and flaunts his massive influence in his bid to bully elected officials. Later, Jen is joined by former U.S. Acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal to react to the House GOP's baseless targeting of Former Rep. Liz Cheney as they kick off Trump's fight for retribution against his political enemies. Finally, March for Our Lives Co-Founder David Hogg joins the show to discuss his candidacy for DNC vice chair and to offer his reaction to the Democratic party passing over Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the top spot on the Oversight Committee.
