Show Notes

For decades, government shutdowns meant temporary furloughs that were painful but reversible. Now, Trump and his cronies are using the threat of mass, permanent firings to gut the very institutions that protect our food, our air, our water, our workers, and our democracy itself. Trump going after James Comey is the height of authoritarian revenge politics, and the bitter irony is impossible to miss. 'Never seen it so bad': DOGE cuts have Social Security workers needing to be 'medicated' Wow. Jimmy Kimmel tripled his audience on comeback night - I would say this is called a Trump backfire.
