    DOGE Giving Americans $5K?

    With all the litigation attempting to stop Trump, Musk and DOGE–this week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: do these court cases even matter?    We like to think that there are three co-equal branches of government, the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. But ith one of his latest executive orders, Trump has made it clear that he believes his word is the law. So even if the Supreme Court rules against him, will he respect that ruling?    Elon Musk says that DOGE is going to hand out $5,000 checks to taxpayers after they make huge cuts to the federal government. Is this how Republicans win the messaging war, by cutting us a check while they sell our government for parts?    List of Trump Administration Court Cases:   https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/   List of Trump's Executive Orders: https://www.federalregister.gov/presidential-documents/executive-orders/donald-trump/2025   And of course we’ll hear from you!

    NLP vs Black MAGA | MiniPod

    NLP Hosts CLAP BACK to Kendrick Super Bowl Haters   Hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum ask: how is it that some Black folk become so heinously anti-Black?    We saw it on full display after Kendrick’s halftime show, when a clip went viral of this dude talking about how lame the show was for his white friends… OK.

    DOGE vs Everybody

    The House is on FIRE! Democrats React to COUP feat. Congressman Frost.   This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the Trump/Musk power grab, which has swiftly become a constitutional crisis.   Joined by Representative Maxwell Frost (Florida-10), the hosts have some tough questions about what Democrats are doing to limit Trump and Musk’s overreach. Why did they let a plain clothed, skinny white man keep them out of the Department of Education?? Congressman Frost, a former activist and first Gen Z congressional representative, thinks he knows EXACTLY what Democrats must do.     Why is this a constitutional crisis? Well, in defiance of the congressional “power of the purse,” Elon Musk’s DOGE continues to consolidate power, and in defiance of court orders from the judiciary, Trump’s executive orders (like the federal funding freeze) are in full swing and having real world impact. The executive branch is staging a coup, usurping power from Congress and the courts, and threatening the balance of power that has maintained U.S. democracy for 250 years. Let’s talk about it!     NYT Article on the Fourth Constitutional Rupture: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/opinion/trump-caesar-constitutional-rupture.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare   To reach your senator or congressman, dial 202-224-3121 and ask the Capital Switchboard Operator to forward your call to the appropriate office.  And of course we’ll hear from you!
