Sam Youngman is a veteran political campaign reporter and former White House correspondent. Youngman covered the presidential campaigns of 2004, 2008 and 2012, countless U.S. House and Senate races, and the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama while working for The Hill, Reuters and other news organizations. A native of Kentucky, Youngman has a BA in journalism from Western Kentucky University and now lives in Los Angeles.
Today’s Big Stuff is a Monday through Friday newsletter for progressive Americans who want to save their democracy while making fun of people like Donald Trump Jr. and Lauren Boebert who might actually be the same, really dumb person. .
Today’s Big Stuff (TBS) was founded in early 2019 by “Ready for Hillary” creator and Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko and former White House correspondent and veteran campaign reporter Sam Youngman. What started as a small clip service for six people, quickly expanded as thousands of stressed out Americans searched for a news source that tells it how it is — with lots of sick jokes and cuss words.
In 2020, the more than 75,000 members of the Big Stuff community — also known as Sexy Patriots and Big Stufferinoes — mobilized along with 81 million other Americans to send Donald Trump crying back to Mar-a-Lago leaving a trail of urine along the way. And we’re just getting started.
If laughter is the best medicine, then TBS is like an injection of bleach right to the fucking face.

| 0:21.9 | great clips and obviously always a great rundown of the news. Happy to have you here on a |
| 0:28.2 | baking hot Wednesday. One more day of very extremely dangerous hot weather. The plants are |
| 0:35.1 | dying. It's crazy here in New York. I don't know how it is where you |
| 0:39.6 | are, but I'm suspecting much of the country. It looks like it is pretty hot. I don't know why I'm |
| 0:44.4 | suspecting that. I mean, I can look at a map. It's hot. So happy to have you here and very happy |

| 1:43.1 | Democrats. A big deal that a Democratic socialist |
| 1:46.9 | wins. Lots to talk about and unpack. What does it all mean? We'll get into it in the coming |
