    Lovett or Leave It just flew into Washington, DC and boy is the FBI Director tired! Lovett is joined by Senator Chris Murphy to talk winning the midterms in the face of AI slop and AI SuperPACs. Then MSNow's Symone Sanders Townsend and Eugene Daniels debate how journalists can stand up to Trump when they share a ballroom this weekend, and we answer a few tough questions facing Democrats. Finally, the rant wheel spins and a sold out crowd at the Lincoln Theatre shares a few second thoughts. What a night.
