Will Saletan exposes Donald Trump’s authoritarian tactics after Trump fires the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics for reporting accurate—but politically inconvenient—job numbers. Even worse, Trump’s top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, steps in to shamelessly defend Trump’s lies about the data, proving himself the ultimate apparatchik.

Sam Stein takes on Donald Trump’s wild Newsmax interview, where Trump openly toys with pardoning disgraced figures like Puff Daddy, George Santos, and even Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump just fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics—for telling the truth about his disastrous economy. Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell take on Trump’s latest authoritarian tantrum, the jaw-dropping new jobs report, and why this move may push America into banana republic territory.

Tim Miller and Sam Stein react to the gaudy design choices Donald Trump is planning for a $200 million renovation of the White House East Wing, including a completely gold grand ballroom, and the long lasting imprint he’s trying to leave on the People’s House.

Donald Trump just revived the Presidential Fitness Council and the guest list is stranger than fiction: RFK Jr., Triple H, an NFL kicker, a sex offender, and Bryson DeChambeau. In this unhinged appearance, Trump fumbles basic NIL facts, rails against women’s sports progress, and blames capitalism while pretending to defend it. Tim Miller and Pablo Torre break down how the whole thing feels like a distraction from tougher questions, especially a pressing one about Jeffrey Epstein.
