Episode 60
How Trump's firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner hours after a weak jobs report is a dangerous escalation in America's slide into authoritarianism; why a high-ranking U.S. official's trip to Gaza may be a substitute for action, and not a call to it; and the family of a Jeffrey Epstein victim speaks out against Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a minimum-security federal prison in Texas.
Donald Trump has a long history with conspiracies and those who consume them, but those same people are now turning on him. But Trump is trying to reel them back in with a new conspiracy theory; former Gov. Jay Inslee (D-WA) weighs in on the Trump administration's push to revoke a landmark rule that has been critical in fighting climate change; Trump's Texas gerrymandering scheme is a dangerous escalation of an anti-democratic tactic that both major parties have used historically. But above all, it's an expression of fear.
The former Commissioner of Bureau Statistics weighs in on the absurdity that is Trump's decision to fire her successor following a weak jobs report; why a high-ranking U.S. official's trip to Gaza may be a substitute for action and not a call to it; and Abdi Nazemian's young-adult novel "Like A Love Story" is the subject of this week's "Velshi Banned Book Club."
