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.

0:04.0 | It is Wednesday, and I have the great Sam Youngman joining me today. |
0:07.7 | Conversation begins at about 40 minutes into today's show. |
0:11.4 | And I think you're really going to love this one. |
0:13.5 | I sure did. |
0:14.0 | We did it last night on YouTube live. |

0:25.7 | raiding playgrounds, and much, much more. |
0:28.5 | Sam and I also talked about the latest insanity in our federal government, |
0:31.3 | including the horrifying damage Republicans have done by passing their devastating legislation, |
0:36.7 | cutting the social safety net and defunding |
0:39.2 | USAID, all while investing billions more in death destroyers and snow walkers who have been tasked |
0:45.7 | to tear apart the families of our essential workers and bring businesses to a screeching halt. |
0:50.8 | It's a great conversation with Sam Youngman, who is passionate. He is angry, |
0:55.5 | righteously so, and he is often very, very funny as he was in that conversation today. So I hope |
1:02.0 | you like that. After watching it live, as she often does on YouTube, Kim Nyborg said, I fucking |
1:08.5 | love Sam Youngman. Him, Chrissy Greer, and Celeste Headley are like my three favorite, not super regular guests. |
1:16.0 | And I totally agree. |
