This week on Look Forward, Jay and Brad return to discuss the first 2 days of the second Trump administration and show how it's already a complete mess. Trump pardon's Jan 6th domestic terrorists, goes after Trans folks with federal legislation, announces end of Birthright Citizenship (which is of course is protected in the Constitution), America will leave the World Health Organization, the Pope comes out against Trump's mass deportation plans, Elon Musk stops pretending and goes full fascist, AOC immediately sets the standard for the Democratic party in true fashion, Medicare and Medicaid advancements ended out of spite, meme coin scams, Biden does last minute pardons to protect people who were doing their jobs, and much more.
