Jen and Noam go over a week of unforced errors - from Elon starting a war with Substack over the upcoming Notes launch, Trump’s very gentle arraignment and the reactions, the Tennessee GOP deciding to expel two House members for protesting for stricter gun laws, to Riley Gaines getting harassed and assaulted at SFSU after her talk on transgender women in women’s sports.

We are continuing our Twitch expiriment this week on Thursday (time TBD), come join us on Noam's Twitch channel!

Show notes:

Twitter blocks liking or sharing tweets with links to Substack domains, coincidentally right after Substack announced the launch of Notes:
