It's News Day Tuesday! Sam and Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, they run through updates on Musk’s full takeover of the Treasury payment systems and closure of USAID, Trump’s targeting of the DOE amid, another judicial restraining order on Trump’s impoundment attempts, Democratic inaction over Trump’s funding freeze, Bessent’s CFPB freeze, Musk’s killing of the IRS’ E-Filing system, Trump’s cave to Mexico and Canada over tariffs, Trump’s invocation of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, RFK’s lies, NALC’s labor battle, Costco Teamsters’ successful strike, and impending labor action with Kings Soopers supermarkets, before reflecting on Nathan Tankus’ prescient anxieties during yesterday’s interview amid the Trump Administration’s full takeover of the US Treasury’s payment systems and complete gutting of any security infrastructure. Next, Sam and Emma dive deep into the Trump team’s attempt to redefine the complete collapse of Trump’s tariff agenda as a negotiation win due to Canada and Mexico… reiterating their previous border commitments, also touching on what to make of this tariff project moving forward. They also explore Elon Musk’s aggressive shutdown of USAID without Congressional approval, dissecting Musk’s interest in an agency spending incredibly minimal sums of Taxpayer money and conservative media’s attempt to jump to DEI “fraud,” before looking to the Democrats’ best attempt to push back on this effort (Chris Murphy), and wrapping up the free half by addressing the dangerous absurdity of Elon’s recent tirade in favor of complete deregulation.
And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma explore the Trump Administration’s attempt to message their indiscriminate and violent deportation campaign to the public – while Steve Bannon makes fun of the “p*ssy humanists” that only want to deport criminals to the NYT. Hank in LA unpacks his experience as a part of the TYT union drive and the ongoing effort to properly represent the exploitation faced at the hands of the media org, Finoran Clown from LA reflects on US relations to Canada and Mexico, and Ally from VA expands the conversation on Trump’s anti-immigrant crackdown. Ben from Chicago discusses the dangerous conditions faced by disabled wage workers, and Jesse in Manhattan explores his experience canvassing for NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani, plus, your calls and IMs!
