The Trump administration response to the Signal leak has been many things, but none of them are surprising. Once again, on every right-wing channel available, we are hearing the words "witch hunt." These guys are nothing if not predictable. No accountability. No transparency (at least not on purpose).

While the Trump administration fumes about "DEI Hires" and other nonsense, he is staffing the US government with perhaps the most unqualified leadership group ever assembled ... and they're living up to their descriptions by failing at just about everything. From. Social Security to National Security, this bunch of fenceposts simply can't get anything right.

In a move too bone-headed to be real (but it is real) apparently our new Secretary of Defense and known binge-drinker Pete Hegseth thought it would be a good idea to discuss military operations, including attack plans, on a commercial messaging app group chat ... and then he accidentally invited a journalist to the group. I swear, if anything saves America, it will be right-wing stupidity. Our guests today are Dave Borer of AFGE and Carolyn Fiddler of The Democratic Attorneys General

In yet another embarrassment to the people of the United States, Trump has decided to seek corporate sponsorship for the White House Easter Egg Roll. While this is just one disgraceful act, it is just a symptom of the rampant corruption of this administration, and we're still less than 90 days in.

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.

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 most can't stand up to it. So we get what we have, an information desert covered up by popular lies. We discuss this and more with Molly Weston

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. And Chuck Schumer, the minority leader in the Senate, is the first head they want.

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 they're wrong, and just like in every other recession the GOP has caused, working families are going to have to pay for it all. Randi

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.

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.

To tariff or not to tariff - that is the question. Trump, upon learning just how destructive his tariffs will be, is now "pausing" them as markets crash and prices skyrocket. It's typical Trump chaos, and it isn't going to stop anytime soon.

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 more of the same.

After saying they wouldn't Social Security, they're now cutting Social Security. After saying they would never cut Medicare, they're cutting Medicare. And after they said they would never ever cut Medicaid ... and the list keeps growing. And days after calling the Ukrainian President a dictator, Trump just told the press "I would never do that" when asked about it. It's almost like they're making it up as they go.

In the history of American politics, there has never been a politician more immune to his own lies than Donald Trump. It's almost as if his minions feed on the lies, even when, perhaps especially when those lies harm them directly. It's a phenomenon never before seen in America, and frankly, we don't know what to make of it. We will discuss this and more with Jimmy Williams, President of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, and Jeff Hauser of The Revolving Door

While Elon Musk and his team of teenage virgins is busy destroying our government, they're telling some pretty massive lies about their "progress." Many times now, they have lied, and lied big, about the amount of money they have "saved" us. What does this mean? Well, it means the $5000 check they promised is never going to come, and it means the lies are going to keep coming at us faster than we can refute them.
