Summary

Donald Trump is hurting the American people. The DOGE cuts are not only waging war on jobs, they're also harming the American public and undermining the safety, health, and economic well-being of everyday Americans. And by cowering to his favorite bully in Moscow, Trump is prepping the US to be a subservient partner of Russia. Plus, John Fetterman joins Tim to share his opposition to the campaigns against both transgender athletes and soldiers, and to chastise Dems for the way they received the POTUS in Congress.

Sen. John Fetterman and Neera Tanden join Tim Miller.

0:52.4	Gropey McHare-Spley leading the Department of Defense but yet people couldn't
0:57.1	confirm Nira to the cabinet because I don't know she said a couple mean deservedly mean things about
