“BRING IT ON”: Denise Powell in the Battle for Nebraska’s 2nd District

ELECTION 2026: In this episode we welcome Denise Powell, a communications strategist and founder of Women Who Run Nebraska, now running for Congress in Nebraska’s 2nd District. Powell discusses her journey from public school advocacy to political leadership, her response to Medicaid cuts and healthcare access, and her call for transparency in the wake of the Epstein files controversy. Powell also shares why she believes government should work for everyday people—not just the wealthy few.

BONUS: In this week’s “Go Fact Yourself” segment, Dan unpacks the renewed controversy over the Epstein files—including former President Trump’s stunning accusation that Barack Obama committed treason.
