Summary
This week: The government shutdown hits day 24, air traffic controllers are driving for DoorDash, and federal workers are lining up at food banks...but don't worry, a racist billionaire donated $130 million.
Robin discusses Timothy Mellon, the mystery donor who thinks welfare is "slavery redux" and wrote that Black people are "belligerent." Meanwhile, Trump is building a $300 million ballroom funded by Apple, Amazon, Google, and crypto companies. Oligarchy? What oligarchy?
Plus: Kamala hints at a 2028 run, Trump threatens Canada over hurt feelings, Larry Ellison is buying up every media company in America, and Kim Davis wants the Supreme Court to take away my gay marriage...which, rude, because I JUST got the legal right to be annoyed about household chores.
Also: Robin compares Trump's rhetoric to Kim Jong Un (spoiler: he wants to BE Kim Jong Un, not Putin), break down Stephen Miller's Goebbels moment, and celebrate 7 million people showing up for peaceful protest.
