Rick's Message to Schumer and Jeffries: DON'T GET PLAYED. A Warning for What Comes After the Blue Wave.

Rick Wilson’s LIVE Elephant in the Room is that the biggest risk to last week's "victory for the ages" is Democrats getting PLAYED. After a 36-hour trip to Washington, including a debate with MEHDI HASAN on whether authoritarianism is a right-wing problem, Rick warns that CHUCK SCHUMER and HAKEEM JEFFRIES could be lured into "bipartisan" deals with Republicans who want them to ease off investigations. He explains why he thinks there are no good-faith counterparties left, why he's glad CHRIS VAN HOLLEN is weighing a run for Senate leadership, and why Democrats can pursue AFFORDABILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY at the same time, from tariff reform and anti-monopoly bills to investigations of Epstein, Kushner, ICE abuses, Kristi Noem, and Elon Musk. His message: Democrats have months, not years.
