The Big Grift

About this episode

Today we are back after a tenuous 250th birthday celebration that served as a perfect yet depressing metaphor for the Trump regime’s disastrous policies, at the center of which is and always has been the biggest grift in American history. And now things are only getting worse as the war with Iran has resumed, prices continue to rise while Americans get sicker, and ICE raids ramp up.
