AKA There Is No Trump without Newt. In episode 888 of The Professional Left Podcast, hosts driftglass and Blue Gal dive into the political landscape of April 1st, 2025, where April Fools Day is effectively canceled at the Cornfield Resistance due to the real Fool occupying the Oval Office.The hosts examine how Republicans have weaponized language over decades, tracing the destructive path from Newt Gingrich's slash-and-burn politics through Rush Limbaugh's hate radio to Trump's presidency. They contrast this with Democrats' constant pressure to be "civil" and "bipartisan," recalling Senator Durbin's tearful apology for his anti-Gitmo torture comments while Republicans never apologize for anything.Also covered: Senator Cory Booker's filibuster against hate, the White House Correspondents' Association's capitulation by canceling comedian Amber Ruffin, Elon Musk's dangerous plan to replace the COBOL code running Social Security payments, and a news roundup featuring Trump's latest attacks on democracy—from Signal-gate to tariff impacts, DEI funding cuts, and threats to the Smithsonian.Don't miss this sharp, unapologetic analysis of why "talking to the other side" isn't viable when the other side has abandoned democratic principles entirely.More at proleftpod.com.Driftglass will be on The BradCast with Digby on 4/2/2025.   We are scheduled to be on The Bob Cesca show on 4/9/2025.Support the show at Patreon.com/proleftpod, or send a letter/contribution to The Professional Left PodcastPO Box 9133Springfield, IL 62791Support the show

John's monologue discusses the continuing saga of Atlantic EIC Jeffrey Goldberg. Following a day of deflection, denials and attacks on his reporting; he published the content of the Signal group chat he was added to. The released messages show the top administration officials involved in the message thread were misleading at best, downright lying to Congress at worst, when it came to the content and their role in the conversation. Congressional Republicans spent another day downplaying the scandal the way a Texas judge downplays a wealthy white teenager who commits vehicular homicide. The Signal scandal has forced VP Vance to cancel all but one stop on his looming trip to Greenland, even as Pres. Trump doubled down, calling its annexation something we “have to have.” He also talks about Tufts University who released a statement denouncing the arrest and abduction of an international graduate student outside her off-campus housing by Homeland Security. Rumesya Ozturk of Turkey was detained and had her student visa revoked, reportedly for an op-ed she co-authored in the university newspaper. Then, Bob Cesca returns to delve into pop culture and ponder over the stupidity of Signalgate. Next, John speaks with The God Squad featuring former pastor Desimber Rose and theologian Dillion Cruz. They discuss the un-Christian act of republicans gutting Medicare and Medicaid.
