Topics
Jon Favre: 我认为特朗普政府正在对美国政府进行全面的攻击。特朗普提议美国“拥有”加沙,并强行迁移巴勒斯坦人,这构成了种族清洗。他还试图清除参与多元化倡议的联邦工作人员,并取消所有多元化项目。此外,特朗普政府还在取消对残疾人的帮助,并成立了一个特别工作组来消除反基督教偏见。这些行动的法律依据存在疑问,但它们确实产生了实际影响。我认为重要的是要区分特朗普的口头表达和他实际对人们生活造成的伤害。 Dan Pfeiffer: 我同意 Jon 的观点,特朗普政府正在对美国政府进行攻击。总统说的话很重要,尤其是在外交事务中。特朗普关于美国“拥有”加沙并建造度假村的言论对哈马斯等组织来说是巨大的招募工具。此外,特朗普政府正在恐吓联邦雇员,让他们每天上班都感到痛苦。我认为应该通过预算削减和员工离职补偿等方式来减少联邦政府的规模,而不是通过恐吓和骚扰。我们必须抵抗这种攻击,并捍卫我们的民主价值观。

Shownotes Transcript

Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue their all-out assault on the federal government, shuttering USAID, rooting out and firing workers linked in any way to diversity initiatives, and breaking and ignoring laws as they go. Jon and Dan hash out all the latest, including Trump's plan to have the US "own" and redevelop Gaza, Democratic pushback, and whether federal judges will step in to stop—or at least slow—the madness. Then, Tommy talks with Sen. Brian Schatz about Democrats' all-night floor fight against Trump's OMB pick, what they think is working, and how they're gearing up for the big battles ahead.
