Welcome back to the Breakdown. It is Saturday, May 30th, and boy, what a week it has been.

As with every Saturday, this episode is a compilation of the full run of programs from the week before,

an executive order trying to remove protected status that would enable lots of lawsuits

to basically punish Twitter for the content that their

users posted, which would be a change in how platforms are regulated today, right? So if someone

says something on Twitter, you can't sue Twitter for what they say if something bad happens.

It's a really complicated issue.

But I think for me, the number one issue that is worrisome to me is active U.S.

politicians interfering in private companies.
