RFK, Jr.'s tenure at Health and Human Services is going from bad to worse, as he was busted AGAIN for putting fake studies in his recent MAHA report after he was supposed to remove them. To make matters worse, an old clip of him getting his butt handed to him on CNN has resurfaced and gone viral this week exposing him for being a massive liar. Donald Trump clearly believed that he could swagger back into the Oval Office and immediately start bossing around the rest of the world. The many failures that he has racked up since taking office prove that this isn't going to be the case, and he's actually going to have to use intelligence and diplomacy to solve problems. Unfortunately for him, those are two traits that he does not possess, which means it is going to be a very long 4 years. Farron Cousins explains what's happening. Rather than actually apologizing for her viral clip last week, Republican Senator Joni Ernst doubled down on it over the weekend with a video of herself in a cemetery mocking the people who are worried about the Republican budget bill. This led conservative pollster Sarah Longwell to speculate that Ernst might be suffering a genuine nervous breakdown right now as she continues to deal with the fallout from her flippant comment. Donald Trump is the only one not laughing about the TACO Trump nickname, and that might not be a good thing for American consumers. If Trump believes that we're all mocking him because he always chickens out, then next time he might keep tariffs in place just to teach us all a lesson. In other words, Trump's ego is hurt and he's going to make everyone else suffer because of it - and he's already working on a plan to do exactly that.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

First: President Trump is working the phones and his beloved Truth Social account, trying to persuade skeptical Senate Republicans to fall in line behind his mega bill to cut taxes and slash spending. But he's giving them a deadline that sounds almost impossible to meet. Plus: Sources tell CNN that the president is complaining that the Supreme Court justices he nominated aren't fully supporting his agenda. We have new reporting on why much of the fury has zeroed in on Amy Coney Barrett. And: How can Democrats persuade voters to trust them again with power? Jon Lovett of Pod Save America and Sarah Longwell of the Bulwark have a few ideas, and they're never shy about sharing them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tommy Tuberville is undeniably the dumbest human being currently serving in the United States Senate, but that might not be giving him enough credit. There's a good chance that he might actually be the dumbest person in the entire country. During an appearance this week on Fox News, he forgot that triangles existed while discussing cuts to the Pentagon, and instead suggested that we turn it into a "trigon," which is not a shape and any kindergartener could tell you that. A federal judge has ordered officials in the Trump administration to sit for depositions - which are sworn testimonies that can result in perjury charges if someone lies - to discuss the role of the Department of Government Efficiency and what they've been up to. This is a massive blow to the administration, as it could force officials to admit that sensitive data HAS been breached by the minions at the agency, and this ruling comes just days after the agency suffered a mass exodus of staffers. A top Republican pollster, Sarah Longwell, says that MAGA voters in the focus groups that she's been conducting are not happy AT ALL with what's going on with the Trump administration. She went as far as to say that many of them are already expressing buyers' remorse for putting him back in power. There have been reports of voters here and there saying this, but when a pollster is constantly running into this theme then it is clearly more widespread than we knew. Farron explains why this is such a positive sign.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!
