Elon Musk’s star is in retrograde following Tesla’s abysmal earnings report. This as Trump continues to take a sledge hammer to the IRS and other federal agencies. We have Merici Vinton on the show today, who is a former staffer at the U.S. Digital Service Department, which became absorbed by DOGE when Donald Trump took office. She’s also a former adviser at the IRS.

Check out her recent piece in the Federation of American Science: https://fas.org/publication/end-of-irs-direct-file/

In the Fun Half, Sam revels in podcaster Jennifer Welsh shouting at Rahm Emmanuel for throwing trans people under the bus when talking about what issues Democrats should focus on. Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan lament the negative impact that Trump’s policy are having on the upcoming Canadian election. As always, Peterson is wearing a very silly suit. Also, Republican Congressman Byron Donaldson gets shouted at at a town hall in Florida by constituents who are PISSED about Elon Musk and DOGE.
