Every Thursday, the Spy hosts a conversation with Al From and Craig Fuller on the most topical political news of the moment.
This week, From and Fuller unpack the political stakes as both Senate Republicans and Democrats prepare their responses to the House-passed spending bill, which carries a projected $3.5 trillion deficit. Al and Craig also examine the evolving use—and misuse—of presidential pardons, focusing on how former President Trump has wielded this constitutional power to benefit MAGA loyalists and disgraced political figures.
