Ep 114 — After Stealing Congress's Spending Power, Trump Is Back For Advice And Consent

Law and Chaos

It's another week where the DOGE bros are trying to burn down the government, and another week where the courts are trying to stop it. For our main story, we focus on the Trump administration's crazy shenanigans at the United States Africa Development Corp. Trump may have tried to fire Senate-confirmed principal officers by email… to an email address that doesn't exist.
