The U.S. is in a domeward spiral. This week, we break down the “big, beautiful” budget bill that promises space missile shields, tax-breaks on tanning beds, and fewer people with health insurance — all while pretending math is optional. Welcome to the girl math-ification of the U.S. budget. We discuss how student loan policy is being used to engineer political realignment (aka dumb people vote for Trump), how even Elon thinks deficits aren't a vibe and how the mediocre Twitter white boys think Beethoven and the invention of lasagna makes them all superior. We also ruminate on the "Golden Dome" another addition to Trump's shitty naming conventions. Also -- Canada's offered a choice: pay $61 billion for the dome or become the 51st state.
