麻豆社 chief presenters Sumi Somaskanda and Christian Fraser are joined by 麻豆社 supervising editor Courtney Subramanian to discuss the balance of power in Washington, Elon Musk鈥檚 growing involvement in world politics, and whether Congressman Mike Johnson has enough support to remain the speaker of the house.
