How To Lose a Country In 100 Days with Josh Gondelman & Juan Cole (Ep 278)
Ratings are in the golden toilet for the Trump sequel and we’re here to both laugh and cry at the authoritarian incompetance. Comedian Josh Gondelman is along for the show to talk Canada’s nice nationalism and the terrifying Zionist mobs in Brooklyn heralding extremist security minister Ben Gvir. Then historian and author of Informed Comment Juan Cole joins to talk how the Trump effect is impacting the U.S.’ role globally from Gaza to Yemen to Iran and more.

Zuckerberg In Court, Google on the Ropes & FBI Arrests Judge *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY**
The Meta and Google antitrust cases continue to move forward on Capitol Hill, despite all the kissing up to Trump Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai have done. Is a backroom deal getting done behind the scenes? David Dayen, executive editor at The American Prospect, joined Francesca to discuss.
Also, we are literally arresting judges who are upholding the rule of law now. Milwaukee county judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for allegedly “interfering” with an ICE arrest. The fascism train ain’t slowing down, folks.

David Dayen - Editor of The American Prospect

Meanwhile, JD Vance is busy killing the pope which makes him a real Catholic now, and we remember maybe the dopest pope there ever was? Plus, Francesca bitches about 501c3s folding under authoritarianism and NY Working Families Party director Jasmine Gripper explains how New Yorkers must vote in the ranked choice vote primary!

Fake Margaritas & Gang Cover-Ups: El Salvador's Bukele Worse Than We Thought *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY*
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive. Thanks to the efforts of Senator Chris Van Hollen and public pressure, the Senator was able to meet with Garcia in El Salvador. While there is hope for his release and return to the U.S., there is still more work to be done for him, and the hundreds of others illegally sent to CECOT.
But some Democrats think Garcia’s detention is just a distraction. In another push to the right, governor Gavin Newsom said this is a “80-20” issue, and that Democrats should focus on tariffs instead. Apparently Gav hasn’t been watching the town halls in red states like Iowa, where even Republicans are pissed about Garcia!

Homegrown Authoritarians with Karinda Dobbins & Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch (Ep 276)
Fascism is upon us as Trump refuses SCOTUS orders to send home a man locked up in a death camp in El Salvador, while simultaneously pining to send Americans there as well. Immigration attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch joins to discuss the brazen and racist approach of Trump 2.0, and discuss the added facet of criminalizing Palestinians. And comedian Karinda Dobbins joins to talk the good and the cringe of Blue Origin's all-female flight, and how the administration is trying to un-DEI the underground railroad?!
