Congressman Mike Thompson joins Anthony Williams on 13th and Park for a wide-ranging conversation recorded at Civix Studios' remote location in Sacramento, California. A Vietnam War veteran who earned a Purple Heart, Thompson reflects on how his military service shaped every chapter of his life, from dropping out of high school to eventually earning a GED, an undergraduate degree, a high school diploma, and a master's degree, and how combat gave him an unshakeable standard for voting to send American troops into harm's way.

Thompson shares the story of uncovering Project Shad, a classified military program in which U.S. service members were unknowingly exposed to deadly chemical agents and then denied the healthcare they had earned. He describes working across party lines with then-Representative Jerry Moran to get those veterans recognized and covered, delivering one of the episode's most powerful lines: "If that's a problem, quit making veterans."

The conversation turns to the state of healthcare in America today, with Thompson breaking down what families in his district are telling him about the Affordable Care Act, the impact of HR 1, and what cutting a trillion dollars from the healthcare system means for hospitals, clinics, and everyday people regardless of how they receive coverage. He also discusses his role as chair of the Congressional Bike Caucus, the reauthorization of anti-doping legislation, and his efforts to secure the Congressional Gold Medal for cycling legend Greg LeMond.

Thompson closes with a reflection on what still gives him faith in America, pointing not to institutions or legislation, but to the people themselves, and the importance of keeping them in the loop.

Kennedy reflects on his own public struggle with addiction, from being outed by a fellow rehab patient early in his political career in Rhode Island, to a DWI on Capitol Hill that sent him back to treatment. Rather than derailing his career, those experiences ultimately gave him the credibility and conviction to champion the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, landmark legislation that required insurers to cover mental health and addiction treatment on par with physical illness. He also discusses his ongoing work through the Kennedy Forum to build a bipartisan political movement around mental health.

Congressman Chris Deluzio, a Naval Academy graduate and second-term representative from Pennsylvania's 17th District, joins 13th and Park for a candid conversation on economic power, the cost of living, and what he believes the government owes working families. Drawing on his upbringing in western Pennsylvania, his service during the Iraq War, and his background in election security law, Deluzio outlines a political identity rooted in hard work, patriotism, and skepticism of concentrated power.

Deluzio discusses the Monopoly Busters Caucus he helped launch, explaining why he sees corporate consolidation as one of the defining threats to the American dream. From private equity gobbling up youth sports leagues to meatpacking consolidation squeezing farmers, he argues that the lack of economic competition is a nonpartisan problem with very real costs for families across the country.

The conversation also covers the pressures facing families in competitive swing districts, the ongoing fight over election integrity, and his concerns about the cost of U.S. involvement in the Iran conflict. Deluzio is direct about the data: Americans his age and younger are statistically more likely to be worse off than their parents, and he believes Washington has to stop tinkering around the edges.

Representing one of the most politically competitive districts in the country, Deluzio reflects on what it means to govern for everyone, not just a base, and why he remains optimistic about America's ability to course-correct at a critical moment for its democracy.
