From the crumbling of America’s global standing to the unraveling of vital institutions like Social Security, the VA, and the FDA, Auchincloss brings insider knowledge, historical clarity, and a call to arms for Democrats to reclaim their voice—and their voters. We also talk RFK Jr.’s deadly anti-science policies, MAGA’s war on truth, and what it really takes to counter disinformation and political apathy in a digital age.\nWith humor, outrage, and a shared sense of urgency, the Dangerous Ones team—Jim and Tiffany Drastic, and Nick Knudsen—join Rep.
