So now it looks like the Trump administration is asking countries to use Elon Musk's StarLink as a port of their trade "negotiations." It's all grift, all the time these days, and none of us voted for this. Texas AFL-CIO President Rick Levy is our guests today, and so is Jeff Timmer of The Lincoln Project.

Republicans have been busy since they won the 2024 election - they just haven't been busy doing anything we elected them to do. Instead, it's been a full-speed race to authoritarianism led by a band of criminals who seem to think they will never have to answer to voters ever again. Our guests today are Author David Pepper and Scott Paul of The Alliance for American Manufacturing.

There were many promises made during the 2024 presidential campaign, but none of them are being kept. Prices are higher than ever, the economy is in the tank, and soon we'll be fighting our neighbors over empty store shelves - all for one man's vanity and incompetence. We're living in a silly and dangerous place, friends, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. Bobby Kogan of The Center for American Progress and Richard Hooker of the Teamsters are our guests.

Trump is so embarrassingly desperate to distract us from his terrible record that he, using the White House social media accounts, is posting AI images of himself dressed as the Pope. Meanwhile, prices are rocketing upward and store shelves are beginning to empty. This is life in Trumpworld, and we should expect more of the same going forward. Labor leaders Claude Cummings (CWA) and Phil Glover (AFGE) are our guests.

Trump crossed the 100 days mark late last week, and so far, we're unimpressed to say the least. So far he hasn't done only of the things he promised (like lowering prices or ending the war in Ukraine) but he has done lots and lots of stuff that nobody wanted, and he looks like he's going to continue doing things no one wanted for as long as we allow him to remain in office. Former New York Times Labor Reporter Steven Greenhouse and Economic Policy Expert Margaret Poydock are our guests.

As we look back on the first 100 days of America in decline, we can say a lot about what has happened so far. Trump did a lot of things - he just didn't do anything anyone actually wanted him to do or elected him to do. Labor Historian Erik Loomis and Journalist Michael Sainato of The Guardian are our guests.

The best way to describe what Trump is doing in America is to see it as a rollback of the progress made in the 20th century. Workers' rights, civil rights, women's rights - all are basically being taken back to the days of the robber barons. Trump is behaving as if he believes his billionaire friends are better than you, rather than seeing them for what they are - parasites. Today's guest is Andrea Ducas of The Center for American Progress.

As Trump's first 100 days comes to a close, and we sift though the ashes of what was once a vibrant democracy, we may just be seeing a path out of this mess. Trump approval rating at 100 days is the lowest number recorded in the last 80 years, which means people are not happy with his nonsense. We discuss this and more with special guest Doug Jones, former U.S. Senator from Alabama.
