Blatantly Bullying Brownnosers by Boasting Big, Beautiful Budget Bill

Blatantly Bullying Brownnosers by Boasting Big, Beautiful Budget Bill

In today's episode, John discusses Trump visiting the Capitol to try to bully House Republicans into embracing the SUCK of his Big Beautiful Budget Bill. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to talk about recent criminal charges against a sitting member of Congress and the weaponization of justice; the Supreme Court temporarily halting controversial mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, highlighting serious concerns about due process and executive overreach; and a troubling House bill which threatens nonprofits and universities critical of the administration - the bill strips nonprofit status and imposes punitive endowment taxes which are designed to stifle opposition. Next, John interviews award-winning journalist Claudia Rowe about her new book "Wards of the State: The Long Shadow of American Foster Care" which paves a road to reform by pulling back the curtain on a broken system and the searing realities faced by kids in the foster care system. Then lastly, he chats with Comedy Daddy - Keith Price on today's news and the hottest trending pop culture.
