Brogressive hosts Ben Bartlett and Max Levin are joined by Micah Erfan, who represents TX-07 on the Texas Democratic Party’s Executive Committee, for a no-holds-barred ranking of the most dangerous and corrupt actions from Trump’s second term.At (00:39), we lay out the tier list: how we’re judging illegality, institutional damage, and long-term impact. Then the countdown begins — from gutting FDA safety checks and fast-tracking deportations without due process to the crypto money funnel fueling Trump’s campaign (13:33). We talk about what’s terrifying but technically legal (30:14), and what’s so chaotic it’s hard to even rank (47:18).Along the way, we track how Trump’s authoritarian instincts have sharpened, and why some of his most dangerous moves aren’t the ones getting the loudest headlines.If you’re trying to make sense of Trump 2.0 and what Democrats should be doing about it, this episode is for you.Follow Micah ⁠⁠@micah_erfan⁠⁠⁠⁠, Ben ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BenBartlettt⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Max ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MaxLevin23⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and Brogressive Podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BrogressivePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Twitter/X.
