Summary
John discusses Elon Musk who took to his social media cesspool to complain about the Big Beautiful Budget the Trump administration is trying to ram through Congress. Musk was joined by other Republicans, most of whom actually voted FOR the bill, in denouncing its cost to the federal deficit. Then, Professor Corey Brettschneider is back to talk about Trump’s controversial attack on the Harvard Law Review—twisting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to target student editors—and his shocking showdown with his one-time allies in the Federalist Society. Plus, the Supreme Court might soon allow religious opt-outs from school lessons about LGBTQ+ rights and could even greenlight religious charter schools, eroding the wall between church and state. Then lastly, John welcomes the gal who founded the blog Hullabaloo - Heather Digby Parton to chat about Republican infighting and more.
