On this rainy morning, John and Gordy kick off the show with raincoat talk. They clobber the National Day Calendar, and check in with Sam for Today in History. In today's dose of Idiocracy, we learn about Trump's "Gold Card," a Green Card that can be bought for $5 million. With more on economic inequality, we hear a rant from representative Jim McGovern on MAGA's planned tax cuts, and shift gears to hear Trump blaming himself for his 2019 trade agreement. Closing out the first hour, Rachel Maddow recaps for us how a judge has called Trump officials, rather than the man himself, into court to answer for DOGE's lawlessness.
