Balance of Power: Does Anything Matter?
In a political moment where lines are blurring and power is shifting, what actually matters anymore?
This week on Balance of Power, Shannon Phillips, Leah Ward, and Annalise Klingbeil dig into the growing trend of floor crossing. They talk about what it says about political values and whether consistency still counts in modern politics. From party loyalty to power plays, they unpack how decisions are really being made and who they’re serving.
Then: a rapid-fire round on housing, space exploration, and the moments shaping the conversation right now.
Plus: our new segment, Quarterly Report, where the hosts share the small things keeping them grounded in chaotic times.
