Reading around for a pod I'm recording tomorrow I came across this classic episode of @chrislhayes.bsky.social's pod where we dug into America's epistemic crisis. Tons of gems in here. And boy has everything on this front gotten *much* worse since 2018...

Wild that the Secretary of Transportation is out here pretending pull-ups are policy while the rest of us are just trying to make sure bridges don’t collapse and planes don’t fall out of the sky.

WOW: “During a visit to Washington in recent days, David Ellison offered assurances to Trump administration officials that if he bought Warner he’d make sweeping changes to CNN" Ellison oligarch promises to make CNN into another version of Fox News. We live in an oligarchy thanks to corrupt SCOTUS

Trump said he’d release the September 2 video “no problem.” Now he denies ever saying it and blames reporters for “fake news.” Whenever Trump doesn’t like a question, he automatically attacks the press. Delegitimization of the free press is a key indicator we call out in our Assessment.
“I’d have no problem releasing the video”
“I didn’t say that, you said that. Fake news.”
5 days apart 😬

NEW: The recent government shutdown, with families skipping meals and babies unfed, could have been a preview of what’s to come when Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill shifts billions in costs for the SNAP program to states that may not be able to afford them.
How State Tax Cuts Could Lead to a SNAP Crisis
President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states. But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.

Trump is backpedaling on his support for the release of the Sept. 2 boat strike video.
On December 3, he said he would have "no problem" releasing the video.
Today, he said he "didn't say that" (he did) and now says, "whatever Hegseth wants to do is OK with me."

Ah, but there's a critical legal distinction: Lisa Cook is a Black woman in a job where Trump wants to put some white guy crony. So it's a crime worthy of prosecution for her, but not for <looks at list> oh hey every Trump official and Trump himself, all of whom have done it.
NEW: The Trump administration has argued that Fed board member Lisa Cook may have committed mortgage fraud by declaring more than one primary residence on her loans.
