The Trump administration response to the Signal leak has been many things, but none of them are surprising. Once again, on every right-wing channel available, we are hearing the words "witch hunt." These guys are nothing if not predictable. No accountability. No transparency (at least not on purpose). Our guests today are law professor Eric Fink and Scott Paul of the Alliance for American Manufacturing.

While the Trump administration fumes about "DEI Hires" and other nonsense, he is staffing the US government with perhaps the most unqualified leadership group ever assembled ... and they're living up to their descriptions by failing at just about everything. From. Social Security to National Security, this bunch of fenceposts simply can't get anything right. Our guests are Brent Booker of LiUNA and Will Ragland of The Center for American Progress.

In a move too bone-headed to be real (but it is real) apparently our new Secretary of Defense and known binge-drinker Pete Hegseth thought it would be a good idea to discuss military operations, including attack plans, on a commercial messaging app group chat ... and then he accidentally invited a journalist to the group. I swear, if anything saves America, it will be right-wing stupidity. Our guests today are Dave Borer of AFGE and Carolyn Fiddler of The Democratic Attorneys General Association.

In yet another embarrassment to the people of the United States, Trump has decided to seek corporate sponsorship for the White House Easter Egg Roll. While this is just one disgraceful act, it is just a symptom of the rampant corruption of this administration, and we're still less than 90 days in. Fromer US Congressman Bob Ney is our guest.

The Trump administration and the DOGE teenagers are doing everything they can to wreck the US economy, calling it "an adjustment period." What he means is, he expects us to adjust to no longer being free Americans, and it is now up tp us to figure out if we're going to fight back. Our guest today is Michael Sainato, Labor Reporter at The Guardian.

Of all the things we have lost in the last several years, the loss of reliable information may be the thing that affects us the most. Right wing media is so dominant today that legacy media of all kinds is simply quitting on us and bending the knee rather than tell us true things that powerful people may not like. Everyone feels the pressure, and most can't stand up to it. So we get what we have, an information desert covered up by popular lies. We discuss this and more with Molly Weston Williamson of The Center for American Progress and Michale Tharp of the Communications Workers of America (CWA)

Americans aren't very happy with Democrats today, and frankly, they have good reason. After Democratic Senators helped Trump pass a CR to avoid a government shutdown, their constituents are calling for heads to roll. And Chuck Schumer, the minority leader in the Senate, is the first head they want. We discuss this and more with Brent Booker of LiUNA, and Craig Harrington of Media Matters.

Well, it looks like Chuck Schumer has gone and done something no one thought possible - he's stealing headlines from Trump. And all it took was complete subservience to the GOP thieves stealing our futures. We discuss this and more with Phil Glover of AFGE and Dave Madland of The Center for American Progress.

Trump and his kind are taking a wrecking ball to the US economy. The market is dropping by huge numbers each day, and the response from this administration is to fire lifelong public servants by the tens of thousands, and pretend the loss of these family sustaining jobs will have no effect on the larger economy. They're wrong; they don't care that they're wrong, and just like in every other recession the GOP has caused, working families are going to have to pay for it all. Randi Weingarten of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and Alex Lawson of Social Security Works are our guests.

During the campaign, Trump and every GOP member running for office swore up and down that the GOP had no plans to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They lied, and it is nothing new. They lie about these things in every election, and in every election ,they never seem to have to pay a price for their lies, current or past. We discuss this and more with Economics Professor Matias Vernengo and Kieran Cuadras from the Communications Workers of America (WFWU-CWA)
