In This Episode:

James and Al call out Trump’s attempt to throw Ukraine under the bus and review the funding bill before welcoming Elisabeth Bumiller of the NYT.  They discuss the chilling effect of Trump’s call for political retribution, how he and Elon are conspiring to undermine good governance by taking on USAID and the Department of Education, and what to focus on when covering the administration.  They emphasize the need to balance keeping up with his latest outrages with exposing how his administration is failing to live up to its promises relating to the economy, ending wars, and delivering for his voters.
