Money and Assistance for Residents in Case of Ukraine Defense.

“Move fast and break things.” This is an old motto from Silicon Valley. But these days speed and destruction are also currencies in Washington. President Donald Trump is quickly reshaping government and America’s place in the world, and many of his critics express their concerns that something may be broken in the process.

Last week, Trump hosted the leaders of France and the United Kingdom, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer - both trying to win his approval; he has reshaped our relationship with Ukraine; and he promised additional tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China.

On domestic policy, Speaker Mike Johnson has finally pushed through a budget resolution, which is a key step for advancing Trump’s agenda via reconciliation.

And next week - a growing crisis over a potential government shutdown. That is, if everyone digests the torrent of news that the president blessed during his joint address to Congress on Tuesday.

In this episode of the “Playbook Deep Dive” podcast, host Eugene Daniels joins senior congressional editor Mike DeBonis and co-author of the West Wing Playbook, Sofia Kai, to help digest everything that happened this week as well as what will happen next week.
