The Trump administration and the DOGE teenagers are doing everything they can to wreck the US economy, calling it "an adjustment period." What he means is, he expects us to adjust to no longer being free Americans, and it is now up tp us to figure out if we're going to fight back. Our guest today is Michael Sainato, Labor Reporter at The Guardian. …

Of all the things we have lost in the last several years, the loss of reliable information may be the thing that affects us the most. Right wing media is so dominant today that legacy media of all kinds is simply quitting on us and bending the knee rather than tell us true things that powerful people may not like. Everyone feels the pressure, and m…

Americans aren't very happy with Democrats today, and frankly, they have good reason. After Democratic Senators helped Trump pass a CR to avoid a government shutdown, their constituents are calling for heads to roll.

Trump and his kind are taking a wrecking ball to the US economy. The market is dropping by huge numbers each day, and the response from this administration is to fire lifelong public servants by the tens of thousands, and pretend the loss of these family sustaining jobs will have no effect on the larger economy. They're wrong; they don't care that …

During the campaign, Trump and every GOP member running for office swore up and down that the GOP had no plans to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They lied, and it is nothing new. They lie about these things in every election, and in every election ,they never seem to have to pay a price for their lies, current or past. We discuss this…

As workers all over the country wait to be fired from their jobs, Trump has decided that it would be a great idea to remove collective bargaining rights from 50,000 union TSA workers, many of whom probably voted for him and will not understand how they voted away their own futures. But such is life in the Trump chaos bubble that we all now live in.…

As predicted, Trump used his SOTU speech to try to pin his wheelbarrow of stupid mistakes on Joe Biden as the US economy starts to nosedive. It's almost impossible to believe that an economy so healthy could go so wrong so quickly, but no one bankrupts businesses like Trump bankrupts businesses, so tanking the largest economy in the world is just m…

In the history of American politics, there has never been a politician more immune to his own lies than Donald Trump.
