Hey, this is Jank. We have a new petition and supporter passing paid family leave.

It would mean the world to have you sign, share and support this petition,

so we can pressure our elected leaders into passing some actual positive change

that over 80% of Americans want. You can sign the petition at tyt.com slash paid leave. Thank you.

What's going on, everybody? Welcome to the damage report on a Thursday with me.

Francesca Fjorendini in for John Eiderola, who again is out on paternity,

doing the damn thing day by day. And so are we here with a massive news day.

So I'm really excited that Yasmin Khan of Rebel HQ and the podcast Modern Context is here.

Yasmin, what's going on? Well, that's going on apparently. We're going to talk about all of it.

You know what, usually there's like something light or like a TikTok trend or like something fun.

None of that. No, what is fun about today is we are just going to go down the line of Trump

Stooges and mock them one by one. He's a favorite of mine. I like him. He's kind of a sleeper.

You know what I mean? Kind of like he's there running his mouth, but you're like, you know,

what is he really doing? Today we're going to pay attention to him. It's always very entertaining.

Always. Today will be no exception. Obviously Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader,

is visited by another demon somehow. We're getting into Rudy Giuliani's financial troubles.

Yes, they deepen. Then of course, a little bit of what a centrist like Manchin are up to,

because it's just not enough to be shadow president. There is a lot more that he wants.

There's people he wants to speak for. There are corporations who need a voice.

So before we get into it, you guys know what to do. You like in the stream. You share in the

stream. You're letting people know what you get up to every morning or every midday or whenever

the hell it is. You're watching this. But for now, Nazmin, are you ready? Are you ready?
