Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov take stock of a dizzying year in American politics.

As layoffs mount and lobbying surges, what should Democrats’ response be when voters are anxious, states are being sidelined, and Congress can’t seem to act? And before signing off, they revisit the moments of 2025 that gave them hope.  Follow Jessica Tarlov, @JessicaTarlov.  Follow Prof G, @profgalloway. Follow Raging Moderates, @RagingModeratesPod.
