Your motto is that you make us smarter and it's why I watch. Well, I listen to the podcast like a religion. I felt distinctly dumber as I listened to frmr Sen Doug Jones. There are SO many better guests out there.

Great, great episode, and indeed you're making us smarter @stephruhle.bsky.social. And so many current+former Catholics! Who knew?

Saying things to win elections is why no one trusts Democrats. They need to do things that improve people's lives. Stop acting like you're trying to win a popularity contest. That only works for TV stars.

I count on this show for news. Friday's panel was NightCrap. Disinformation ($7B spent for 58 EV chargers is not true). Racist dismissal of Abrego Garcia since it's not gonna score points. And the false frame of "Clinton did DOGE but better" bs. @stephruhle.bsky.social tried to rein it in but no.

Ah, a broken clock is right twice a day.

This "administration" has only one skill: spin. They spout nonsense with numbers, in this case about the cost per hour, to make it sound like they know what they're talking about. And a lot of the time it works, sadly. People have no idea what we lost here.

You deserve a rest, but some of your guests are disappointing. The Social Security convo did not make us smarter. Explain the math of the cap. Explain the unfairness of the cap. Musk spends "some part of his year" paying his 7% is a practical lie. He pays for a few minutes at best.
