  • Liam Donovan and Brendan Boyle: The Great Grift

    Liam Donovan and Brendan Boyle: The Great Grift
    Jan 8 2025
    Trump talked a lot more about Hannibal Lecter during the campaign than one of his actual top priorities: extending his 2017 tax cuts. With those $4.5 trillion in cuts set to expire by the end of the year, that's the first major item of business for congressional Republicans. But how they get paid for will affect people's lives. Tim takes a deep dive into the reconciliation process that would allow Republicans to make deep cuts to programs without having to work with Democrats. Plus, the billionaire plutocrats staffing the new administration and the potential for corruption.

    Rep. Brendan Boyle and Liam Donovan join Tim Miller.

  • Charlie Warzel: Zuck Sucks-Up to Trump

    Charlie Warzel: Zuck Sucks-Up to Trump
    Jan 7 2025
    Mark Zuckerberg is doing all he can to get an audience with the big man at Mar-a-Lago, including praising Trump's (faux) free speech bona fides and restructuring Meta to eliminate fact-checking. Maybe it's because Zuck wants to show his middle finger to the mean tech reporters—or maybe it's because Trump threatened to imprison Zuck. Plus, the conspiracies around Jan 6 v 9/11, and the potential threat to our financial system from crypto.

    Charlie Warzel joins Tim Miller.

  • Bill Kristol: The Preposterous and Ridiculous Lies About the FBI

    Bill Kristol: The Preposterous and Ridiculous Lies About the FBI
    Jan 6 2025
    Kash Patel's Jan 6 lie requires FBI officials to have been able to see into the future: to *know* that Trump would lose in 2020 and then try to get Congress to reverse the election results. And they also would have to have known they could get thousands of people to attack the Capitol—just to make MAGA look bad. Are GOP senators really going to clear this conspiracy theorist extraordinaire to run the bureau? Plus, the martyrology around Jan 6 and the mass exodus of journalists from The Washington Post. Bill Kristol joins Tim Miller.

    show notes:
