Description

Republicans and the Supreme Court have put basically no guardrails on Trump, so he started a global war that is costing taxpayers $1 billion a day. He shrugs about soldiers dying, and he lies about the school full of children that Americans likely killed. And he's downright giddy that because he signed off on all the bombing of Iran, he may get to choose the country's new leader. At the same time, one of the few occasions when Republicans stood up to him resulted in the firing of his first Cabinet member, the scandalous Kristi Noem. Plus, new job loss numbers show how Trump continues to hurt the working class, fuel prices are rising, the administration is again helping Russia in its war on Ukraine, Rand Paul may have an issue with Noem's chosen successor, and have the Dems' chances of retaking the Senate improved? Neera Tanden with the Center for American Progress joins Tim Miller for the weekend pod.

Trump doesn’t hate his base, he’s literally never thinks about them at all

Funniest thing I read today: “replacing Kristi Gnome with Markwayne Mullin is like peeing your pants and changing your shirt”.

As much as I despise Kristie Noem, I’ll never get over seven Democratic Senators who voted for her. Dear God, did they not watch this woman as Governor? Really poor decision making on their part.

We're told the military can actually drop a bomb down a chimney to reach a target but we can't avoid a school. This admin is beyond incompetent.
