Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton discuss how little coverage the Hands Off! protests got this weekend before diving into the intentional nosedive the markets have taken after Trump's buffoonery of a math equation levied tariffs across the world. And they finish with the Supreme Court's decision to get in the way of the court case to return an innocent man from the El Salvador gulag he was mistakenly sent to by this administration.

when I was putting together today's show. And I said, you know what we're going to start with?
