We're Back and Ready to Break Dicks

Jennifer and Courtney are back after taking some time off to process Trump securing his place as the greatest cult leader in history, winning over devoted fans who continue to vote against their own interests. This episode covers A LOT...but not a book (that's next). Courtney and Jennifer discuss a handful of Trump's wild cabinet picks including but not limited to:

The potential fallout of nominating RFK as the secretary of Health and Human Services and what it would mean to ban pesticides (spoiler alert: there would be no food to eat).
The inexperienced, univerally hated, and accused sex-trafficker, Matt Gaetz, being chosen for America's next Attorney General.
And of course Elon Musck with his special cartoon dog as the mascot for government efficency. (Note: This is not satire.)

Action Items: Find Your Senator and tell them NOT TO CONFIRM:

The accused Matt Gaetz for Attorney General
Russian-connected Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence
Chris Wright, current CEO of an OIL company to the Secreatary of Energy
Elon Musk's unchecked "DOGE" position
- All of these appointments scream conflicts of interest and give the ultra rich and already powerful unprecedented power to shape regulations, contracts and budgets to advance their own personal and business goals.

DO: Pass the Press Act
DO: Confirm Biden’s Judicial Appointments
- "Dear ___, as a constituent, I am urging your to...(copy/paste above bullet points or write your own!) Thank you."
