This week, Lisa and David talk about Lisa has FOMO about outrage; Musk’s kid X Æ A-Xii tells Trump to shush his mouth (probably); Pete Hegseth saying it is "unrealistic" to expect Ukraine to return to its pre-2014 borders; Musk, DOGE, corruption, and division; DOGE taking steps shield its communications and records from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests; crisis and mass resignations at DOJ over the Eric Adams case, extortion a significant breakdown in the checks and balances designed to ensure accountability within the justice system; Musk and the parasite class; Lisa cites Republican push-back; Polity Project declares USA is now an Autocracy; Maine man blames “wokeness” for shootout with police; currency use; and more.
This Eric Adams / DOJ scenario demonstrates a significant gap in the system of checks and balances. It underscores the importance of having robust, independent mechanisms for investigating potential misconduct within the highest levels of law enforcement and government. It also highlights the need for potential reforms to ensure that investigations can proceed even when those in power may have a vested interest in preventing them.
