Elizabeth breaks down why this moment is such a powerful turning point—not just for Tennessee, but for the broader Democratic Party. With Pearson's deep community ties, bold leadership, and national recognition after his expulsion and reinstatement in the Tennessee legislature, this campaign signals a generational shift that's been a long time coming. The episode also tackles escalating federal violence in Chicago, where ICE and CBP agents have shot a protestor and a priest outside the Broadview Detention Facility, even as Trump threatens to arrest Governor Pritzker and the city's mayor. Elizabeth lays out the facts, the legal implications, and the urgent need for organized resistance. She also covers breaking developments in Jim Comey's prosecution, the dangerous influence of Stephen Miller, and the media's centrist drift in the face of rising authoritarianism. This episode is a call to action and a clear-eyed assessment of where things stand—and where the fight goes next. Clear analysis. No spin. Real tools for resistance.  Want bonus broadcasts, deeper dives, and answers to your questions? Join me on Patreon at patreon.com/resistancelive.
