In this episode, Mike and Nate tackle several alarming developments: the controversial DOGE department's Treasury takeover, Marco Rubio's thinking about a plan to house US criminals in El Salvador's prisons, and Trump's executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund (potentially to buy TikTok). They also discuss the manipulation of autism statistics by reactionaries, trans rights, and the growing climate crisis. As the new administration continues to push constitutional boundaries, the hosts examine how democratic institutions are being tested like never before.
