Trump TV is being beaten by a box fan, and a judge just forced the real press back into the White House. Political Rehab is the only show that brings together a Republican strategist and a Democratic insider to strip away the noise and break down what actually matters: the power pla...

Donald Trump spent the week getting bounced. The Fed told him no, a federal judge told him no, and the Supreme Court told him no — while Congress skipped town with Pete Hegseth’s impeachment fight, an AI kill-switch debate and a pile of unfinished business still sitting on the table. Political Rehab is the only show that brings together a Republican strategist and a Democratic insider to strip awa...

Trump apparently decided Americans weren’t suffering enough. So, he picks a trade war with Canada — one that could raise costs and hammer Republicans in some of the most important states in the country. Then the Supreme Court gives Trump a major win in his fight over mail voting. Meanwhile, the White House declares “Economic D-Day” against Iran six months into the war. Matt and Matt ask the obviou...

Political Rehab brings together a Republican strategist and a Democratic...

Trump promised an election bombshell. What he delivered was voter data that political campaigns—and in some states virtually anyone—can already obtain.

Political Rehab brings together a Republican strategis...

Trump's birthright citizenship defeat dominated the headlines, but it wasn't the only Supreme Court decision that mattered.

Political Rehab brings together a Republican strateg...

Republicans finally had a real affordability win within reach — on housing, one of voters’ biggest pain points heading into the 2026 midterms — and Trump blew it up for a voting fight they don’t have the votes to pass.
