Investigative reporter and podcast host Nick Sortor reported on his Twitter page that the company "Influenceable" is paying MAGA influencers to support Big Soda. Sortor says he became suspicious when popular Trump-supporting pages like Clown World, Eric Daugherty, Not Jerome Powell and Ian Miles Cheong all posted remarkably similar tweets, each decrying the idea that SNAP (food stamps) recipients would be barred from using their benefits to purchase soda products.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Sortor’s exposé and why prominent figures online should always disclose if they are being paid to promote a certain product or viewpoint.

While many self-styled “patriots” applauded the Trump administration’s mass arrest of alleged “gang members” who were deported for immediate incarceration in El Salvador, as more details of the mass deportation emerge it is becoming increasingly evident that authorities ran roughshod over the Constitutional due process protections to effect the operation.

Israel has launched a new ground invasion into Gaza, sending troops into areas they retreated from during a two-month ceasefire with Hamas. This follows a day of airstrikes that killed over 400 people, including many children, and wounded hundreds more, effectively shattering the fragile ceasefire that had been in place since January 19.

Jimmy discusses how Benjamin Netanyahu had planned to break the ceasefire from the very beginning and how Trump is actively destroying whatever anti-war credibility he has left.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has vigrously defended the deportation of green card-holding Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil over the activist’s participation in pro-Palestinian protests on campus.

President Trump is vowing to “lead the charge” to unseat Republican Represenative Thomas Massie of Kentucky after the congressman declared he will not support the GOP’s short-term government funding bill ahead of Friday’s shutdown deadline.

Trump began a Truth Social post late Monday night by thanking the House Freedom Caucus for backing the stopgap funding package and supporting Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) efforts to keep the government open, and then lit into Massie and called for him to be primaried.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Massie is fulfilling the MAGA promises even more than Trump and why he likely doesn’t need to worry about Trump’s threats.

The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has not led to stability in the war-torn nation. In fact, death squads affiliated with the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) that now rules over much of Syria have been blamed for more than 1,000 killings in the past week, most of them civilian members of the Alawite minority of deposed president Bashar al-Assad. Syrian Christians fear they will be the next group targeted by the HTS security forces.

Jimmy and renowned public policy analyst Jeffrey Sachs discuss the situation on the ground in Syria and this predictable outcome of Assad’s ouster by radical Islamists backed by the CIA.

Senate Republicans on Wednesday passed a measure to allow payment apps like Venmo and PayPal to return to ideological debanking—repealing a rule implemented in December by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Repeal of the rule would leave users of the apps in limbo, as the laws protecting consumers would still be in place, but the rule enforcing the law—and the bureau with the capacity to enforce it—would not.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the bill, which has not yet passed in the House, and how it will allow these payment app companies to deny service to individuals or groups on ideological grounds.

In what can only be described as a stunning reversal on a key political issues, Republicans have now siezed the mantle of supporting free speech away from Democrats — mostly owing to Democrats’ support for efforts to counter what they call “misinformation” and “hate speech” online. But now Donald Trump appears to be willing to crack down on speech he doesn’t like as well, in particular criticisms of Israel and support for Palestinians.

Jimmy and investigative journalist Matt Taibbi discuss just how much Trump’s proposed measures against protesters will undermine his free speech bona fides among the MAGA faithful.

Plus segments with Taibbi on Trump exposing the likes of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders as pro-war tools, CNN’s post-speech poll showing wide-ranging support for Trump’s stated agenda and Zelensky rethinking his stance of pissing off Trump and coming crawling back to make peace with Russia.

In 2019 historian and Russia expert Stephen F. Cohen sat down with journalist Aaron Maté to discuss Ukraine’s newly elected President, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the threats he faced from neo-Nazi militants in his own country who were pressing to escalate the civil war in the east of Ukraine despite Zelensky running on a peace platform.

Zelensky, of course, caved to the pressure from these ultranationalist elements, as well as NATO, both of whom wanted Ukraine to go to war with Russia, and now we face the end game which could mean the end for Zelensky’s presidency, and worse.

Plus segments on Putin’s offer of Russian rare earth metals to the United States, a Zelensky supporter bawling over his treatment by Donald Trump and Joy Behar begging Elon Musk not to sue her after she claimed, falsely, that he supported apartheid in South Africa.
