Trump is leaning into the authoritarian use of our military, and he's banking on the assumption that middle America will see him as strong for doing so. And he may be right. Our guests today are Arthur Stamoulis of the Citizens Trade Campaign, and Mike Lux of American Family Voices.

Trump just sent the Marines into Los Angeles because that's what authoritarians do. He's sending soldiers to face off against peaceful protesters because it isn't violence he fears - it's dissent that scares him. America is on the brink, folks, and how this ends is anyone's guess. Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing and Dave Midland of The Center for American Progress are our guests.

Less than 6 months into Trump's term, and we're kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to prisons in random countries, the economy is faltering, and now we're arresting judges, members of Congress, and union presidents. If you don't think fascism has fully arrived in America, then you're not paying attention. Sarah Burris of Raw Story is out guest.

Elect a clown - expect a circus. That's about all we can say about the latest Trump/Musk feud. But while the mean girls are squabbling, the rest of us are stuck with a government that can't do anything at all to make our live better. Maybe we should have thought this one through before voting last November. Today we are joined by Henry Burke of The Revolving Door Project and Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.

It appears that the presidential bromance is over, as Elon leaves the White House and takes to Twitter to bash Trump's "big, beautiful bill." For anyone who pays attention to Trumpworld, this is just how it goes, but for the American working people, this is just more nonsense that we are going to end up paying for. Our guests today are Jeff Hauser of The Revolving Door Project, and Michael Sainato of The Guardian.
