About this episode
Monday, January 27th, 2025 Today, in what I’m calling the Friday Night Massacre, Donald Trump illegally fired 17 inspectors general; Senate Democrats are preparing a formal resolution to condemn the pardons of January 6th insurrectionists; after Colombia refuses to allow planes with deportees from the US to land, Trump imposes tariffs and closed the visa section at the US Embassy in Bogota; Secretary of State Marco Rubio has halted all foreign aid; a US meteorologist was fired after calling out Elon Musk's nazi salute on her private social media account; Mexico has also refused to accept a US deportation flight; Trump’s hiring freeze is creating chaos across federal agencies as he declares he wants to eliminate FEMA altogether; after Trump axed DEIA programs across the government - many private corporations are falling in line - we will name and shame them; Trump demands an interest rate cut from the Fed; and a Mississippi lawmaker has introduced the Contraception Begins at Erection Act; and Allison delivers your Good News.
