Wed. 04/16: The DOJ Play, Economic Risks Rise, Musk Legacy Grows


Listen Later

Trump’s back on his “lock her up” arc—except this time it’s Letitia James, and he’s the one begging the DOJ for a criminal referral. Meanwhile, Jerome Powell politely drags Trump’s tariff tantrum while Elon’s baby count quietly sneaks into NBA team territory. Plus: a rare feel-good win from Trump on prescription drug prices (we said rare, not fake), and we end in Michigan, where 300 people formed a human chain to move 9,000 books just because they could. Look at that—hope isn’t entirely dead.
