It's News Day Tuesday! Sam & Emma break down the biggest headlines of the day. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on Elon Musk’s attacks on US federal workers, Mike Johnson’s determination to cut Medicaid, an impending GOP-led government shutdown, dropping consumer sentiment, FDA actions to undo Musk & DOGE dumbassery, Blackwater’s private ICE posse, DoorDash’s millions in theft, Trump’s attacks on whistleblower protections, the VA, and Trump’s support for Russia, before basking in the beauty of Missouri Rep Mark Alford’s obsequious support for the Musk/Trump regime getting drowned out by countless enraged constituents (despite Alford’s unsurprising and unsubstantiated claims of outside agitators). After expanding on the need for Democrats to hold the line in refusing Trump’s absurd power grabs and the GOP’s disastrous budget plans – and how to call your representative to make sure they stay strong – Sam and Emma dive deep into the GOP’s ongoing push to make devastating and extensive cuts to Medicaid, dissecting how this move targets the victims of the supposed “waste, fraud, and abuse” Mike Johnson and Co claim to be going after, and watch former NJ Rep Tom Malinowski obliterate Kevin O’Leary’s ridiculous claim that Elon and Trump are completing the first audit of the US government in years. Wrapping up, they touch on David Dayen’s recent piece “The Coup Has Failed,” and why we should find hope in the US public’s overwhelming pushback to Trump’s attempts to consolidate his power and punish his enemies.

And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma answer some of your questions about Ukraine, unpack the Trump/Musk regime’s devastating impact on the US economy, explore the extensive reach of Trump’s attack on federal workers, and talk with Cal from Rochester about the pre- and post-ACA Medicaid experience. Ronald Raygun expands the conversation on Russia and Ukraine, Max from South Carolina tackles SC’s devastating GOP trifecta, the US government comes for queer people’s IDs, and Milo Yiannopolis (or, perhaps, Jake from Dallas) shares some thoughts with the show. PBD goes to bat for his potential comrade-in-coups Jair Bolsonaro, and Nicholas from Michigan adds to the Medicaid experience, plus, your calls and IMs!
