If it feels like we've been here before—it's because we have. Day 38 of the government shutdown has Congress stuck in the political version of Groundhog Day, where everyone swears this time they'll fix it, only to hit “repeat” like a Netflix user who fell asleep on episode one. Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi is officially stepping off the stage—for real this time. It's the political equivalent of your favorite performer announcing their farewell tour… again. But this one might actually stick, since she's earned enough standing ovations to rival Broadway's finest. Back here in New York, the post-election mood feels like the confetti never showed up. “The Statue That Never Was” takes center stage for why Curtis Sliwa didn't drop out—a project that went from “visionary tribute” to “budget whoopsie” faster than you can say “city permit pending.” Over at City Hall, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is still workshopping his hit single, “Safety, But Make It Community.” Picture it: subway outreach teams, health workers in vacant storefronts, and a whole new agency devoted to making you feel warm and fuzzy on your morning commute—assuming the MTA cooperates and your train ever arrives. It's bold, it's ambitious, and it's one bad PowerPoint transition away from a TED Talk. Finally, as the credits roll on this week's political chaos, we close with something rare: gratitude. It doesn't trend, it doesn't go viral, and it definitely doesn't filibuster—but it still changes everything. In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Friday, Republican U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik is expected to announce a run for New York governor, according to two people familiar with her plans.New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani made a triumphant trip to Puerto Rico for an annual summit that brings New York politicians and lobbyists to sunny San Juan for strategy meetings, workshops and boozy confabs.And in Washington, a former Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump's law enforcement surge in Washington was found not guilty of assault in the latest legal rebuke of the federal intervention.

On this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck reacts to Democrats outperforming expectations across the board in Tuesday’s elections — from New Jersey to Georgia — signaling a sharp political rebuke of Donald Trump and his influence over the GOP. He breaks down why the results were more than just a good night for Democrats, how high electric bills and cost-of-living concerns shaped key races, and why even Republican strongholds are starting to shift. With Trump’s tariffs facing likely Supreme Court scrutiny and voters blaming Republicans for the government shutdown, this week’s results could reshape not just the midterm landscape but the future of both parties. D.C. representative Oye Owolewa and Executive Director for Puerto Rico 51st George Laws Garcia join Chuck Todd for a deep dive into one of America’s most overlooked democratic debates — the fight for statehood for Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. With over 3 million Americans lacking full representation in Congress, Chuck explores the political, constitutional, and cultural hurdles standing in the way. From Puerto Rico’s 58% support for statehood to the District’s struggle under federal oversight, the episode unpacks how history, partisanship, and outdated systems continue to stall progress. The conversation dives into whether D.C. and Puerto Rico would need to enter as a political “duo”, why half measures like expanded autonomy wouldn’t hold up, and how the economic and tax inequalities faced by both territories have real-world consequences. With bipartisan murmurs of support and the next generation of lawmakers pushing the issue, Chuck asks: is America finally ready to welcome its 51st — and maybe 52nd — states? Finally, he answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment and previews the upcoming weekend in college football. Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.

Inez Stepman of the Independent Women's Forum fills in for Jim on the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch. Join Inez and Greg as they discuss what they hope will soon be the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas, a major economic policy blunder by the Democrat running for governor in Virginia, and a surprising dead heat in the 2026 New York governor's race.First, they welcome reports that Hamas has agreed to release the living hostages and the remains of the rest as part of Phase 1 of President Trump's Middle East plan. Inez cautions against celebrating until the hostages are actually home but credits Trump for getting Hamas sympathizers in Qatar and Turkey to pressure Hamas into accepting the deal.Next, they highlight Virginia Democratic gubernational nominee Abigail Spanberger openly supporting a 2020 law passed and signed by Democrats that mandates all energy in Virginia must be renewable by 2050. There are two problems with that. There's no indication that will be feasible. And if it is, energy costs will skyrocket by thousands of dollars per year for the average customer. Inez argues that Spanberger is another Democrat falsely branded as a moderate despite her progressive record.Finally, they break down new polling that shows New York Gov. Kathy Hochul locked in a statistical tie with her likely GOP challenger, Rep. Elise Stefanik. Hochul's endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City does not appear to be resonating well throughout the state. Please visit our great sponsors:Support your health with Dose Daily.  Save 25% on your first month when you subscribe at https://DoseDaily.co/3ML or enter code 3ML at checkout. OneSkin uses the patented OS-01 Peptide™ to improve skin and scalp health at the cellular level—try it now with 15% off using code 3ML at https://OneSkin.coCelebrate World Mental Health Day by starting your journey with BetterHelp—get 10% off your first month at https://BetterHelp.com/3ML
