Today's Headlines: Democrats and the White House cut a last-minute deal to stop a government shutdown, temporarily boosting ICE funding while they argue over whether the agency should at least identify itself. The deal keeps most of the government running through September. ICE says it's “drawing down” operations in Minnesota, but the damage is already done. Lawmakers visited a Texas detention facility where 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held after being detained in Minnesota. His father says Liam is sick, withdrawn, and lethargic. New reporting shows just how much surveillance power ICE actually has, from facial recognition and license plate readers to phone location data, drones, and phone-hacking tools. On top of that, ICE is asking ad-tech and data brokers for access to location data. TikTok users say anti-ICE videos are mysteriously failing to upload or disappearing after the platform's ownership change. TikTok says it's a glitch. Sure. Meanwhile, Trump's acting cybersecurity chief reportedly uploaded sensitive government documents to a public version of ChatGPT, which is now being investigated by DHS. States are getting ready for possible ICE activity. New Jersey's new governor announced plans for a public database where people can upload videos of ICE encounters, plus expanded “know your rights” efforts. In non-ICE related news, a major lawsuit over social media's impact on kids moves forward against Meta and YouTube after TikTok and Snap settled at the last second, there are reports that the Trump administration quietly met with Canadian separatists in Alberta, Tulsi Gabbard resurfaces in Georgia, and—because there's always a grift—Melania Trump already teasing a spinoff to her undersold documentary.

The Feisty, former Navy Helicopter Pilot got right to work, signing two executive orders during her inaugural speech, declaring a state of emergency on utility costs in New Jersey. One order freezes utility rate hikes, and another aims to develop new sources of electricity production to lower utility costs in the long term. The newly sworn-in Democrat sought to contrast the history and character of her state against the Trump Regime. Speaking on the Declaration of Independence, Sherrill says "The people of New Jersey recognize the parallels" between British King George III and President Trump. She accuses the president of "illegally usurping power" and imposing a "Tariff Regime" that hurts New Jerseyans so he can enrich himself. Gov. Sherrill promised to make New Jersey a "New Ark" for "Liberty and Prosperity," drawing on the state's motto. She says she will sign executive orders to freeze energy rate hikes and will fight what she views as abuses of power by the Federal Government.

Tom Malinowski isn't just running for Congress again, he's running straight into the flamethrower Trump has aimed at democracy, foreign policy, and the rule of law. If you've been doomscrolling FBI hearings about “Antifa terrorists,” boat strikes in the Caribbean, and Republicans suddenly remembering they have spines, this episode has you covered. Topics include: • How Trump's team is using drug-war theater on the high seas to test-drive a terrifying theory of power: if anyone can be labeled a “terrorist,” anyone can be stripped of rights, due process, or worse.• Why a dry-sounding “National Security Strategy” document is actually a seismic attempt to cozy up to far-right, fascist-adjacent movements in Europe—and what that means for democracy here and abroad.• The quiet rebellion inside the GOP: discharge petitions, surprise votes in places like Indiana, and why the spell around Trump might finally be cracking, just a little. - Why Tom's race matters: Former congressman Tom Malinowski joins Jo to connect all of it: foreign policy, Trump's grift, Republican cowardice, and the first big House race for Mikie Sherrill's old New Jersey seat. He lays out what real accountability could look like if Democrats claw back power. SANE(ish) Partners - AuraFrames: Exclusive $35-off Carver Mat at https://on.auraframes.com/JOJO.

New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherrill—Naval Academy grad, former helicopter pilot, mom of four and one of America's most important rising leaders—joins Paul just one day before the Army-Navy game to talk about service, courage and standing up to Donald Trump in real time. She explains why Trump's rush toward a war with Venezuela is “almost incomprehensible,” why the mounting evidence of war crimes under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is so dangerous for the military, and how veterans like Sherrill and Senator Mark Kelly are pushing back and reminding troops they must follow the law and the Constitution—not illegal orders. Sherrill breaks down how she won New Jersey, why independents trusted her to freeze utility rate hikes on day one, and what servant leadership looks like when you've actually worn the uniform and still shop at Costco, order Halloween costumes online, and worry about your kids' mental health like everyone else. She and Paul dig into the pressure Trump is putting on the Guard, the stakes for governors like Wes Moore and Sherrill if deployments expand, and why this moment demands governors who understand national security, not partisan theatrics. It's Football Friday, so Paul and Governor-Elect Sherrill also make NFL picks, trash-talk each other over Army-Navy, and preview next year's Army-Navy Game at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey—with Sherrill promising to “do it up right” as host and unapologetic Navy fan. Plus: Paul's “dad hack” Christmas-tree clapper tip, Sherrill's “something good” about seeing her midshipmen in Baltimore, and why this episode is a blueprint for how veterans can still rise, lead and win in a Trump-dominated era.

Brian Tyler Cohen (YouTube and podcast host, “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,” and MS NOW Contributor) joins Chris Cuomo for a conversation about how Democrats can win in an outrage-driven media environment. They dig into why affordability messaging works across the spectrum — from Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill to Zohran Mamdani — and why the left must balance real-world issues with the daily flood of Trump scandals, ICE abuses, and rising costs. Cuomo and Cohen unpack how the Epstein files, outrage algorithms, and click-first influencers distort priorities, why trust matters more than trending topics, and how Democrats can convert resentment into results on housing, groceries, and basic costs. They also explore the limits of lawfare, the danger of governing for social-media engagement, and what it will take for the majority to reward leaders who actually solve problems rather than amplify anger.
