Summary

If the daily headlines coming out of the White House are making you feel antsy, discouraged, angry, or overwhelmed…you're not alone!

There are people out there fighting the good fight, like Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell, and those helping us make sense of the political drama, like political strategist Jordan C. Brown. They want people to know that even though things are feeling dark right now - public sentiment is working! They tell Sophia about the small victories setting the stage for even larger triumphs down the road, the Signal leak and what's really going on, advice for those who want to engage in activism, and lifting the curtain on political theater! Swalwell recalls the time Ted Cruz publicly trashed him on TV, only to turn around the next day and tell him privately he was doing "a really good job!" It's a story you don't want to miss.
