Tech Oligarchs and Father's Day Finds

Welcome to the week people. Republican leaders are still trying to jam major cuts to Medicare, food stamps and other vital programs down our throats in the form of the Big Beautiful Bill, some GOP members have had to face tough questions from their constituents about how those cuts will effect them. But after being called out last week for making cuts that will ultimately kill many of her constituents, Republican Senator Joni Earnst says that we'll all die one day. Now she's released a cynical non-apology in response to the controversy.

After that, Science journalist and astrophysicist Adam Becker is here to discuss his new book More Everything Forever. Check it out here:

In the Fun Half, Elon Musk sits down for an interview with CBS News but only wants to talk about rocket ships and seems upset that he's being asked about the Trump administration. Hakeem Jeffries gives the most limp nothing of an answer when asked what he's planning to do in response to federal agents entering the offices of Congressman Jerry Nadler and cuffing one of his aids, which came weeks after federal agents arrested Democratic Congresswoman LaMonica McIver. And people in San Diego spontaneously protest ICE agents as they raid local establishments.
