Republicans throw around their power. Democrats, when they did have it, didn't use it then--and they're not using it now, argues Brian Tyler Cohen. And if Democrats gain influence in 2026 and beyond, how should they use it? What policies should Dems implement? What will tomorrow look like? Brian's new book, The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post Trump World, spells out what Democrats must do to make a bold agenda transform America.

Democrats line up to appear on Brian Tyler Cohen's enormously popular podcast and YouTube series, No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen. Millions of people watch his show and subscribe to his Substack. Many many millions. Broadcast and cable news outlets crave his audience numbers.The reason for his popularity? He guides his guests--electeds, other journalists, and cultural figures--in conversations designed to reveal their take on what's going on at this moment in American politics.

In addition to hosting one of the most influential and widely respected shows, Brian is a bestselling author. he Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post Trump World is not just a takedown of both Republicans and Democrats who now hold office. It's about power. It's about how Democrats can and must use it to reshape our country, not just back to what it was before 2024, but better than it was.

Moderator to be announced.
