Trump is trying to seize powers he doesn't have—like unilaterally rewriting laws and deciding on his own how he wants to spend money Congress appropriated for a particular purpose. Will the Supreme Court stop him? And if it rules against him, will he obey the court's orders? Plus, the money angle behind RFK, Jr.'s conspiracies, and Elon's attempt at a mass buyout is not about making the government leaner and meaner. He's trying to replace good, smart people with lackeys and flunkies, like Tucker Carlson's son. Mona Charen joins Tim Miller.

It's a golden age.
The only thing that makes it bearable is that we have each other.
That's true. I'm happy to have you. I guess this is an announcement for a couple of listeners who noticed the meowing on yesterday's podcast. I have a cat, too. So we have each other a cat. Many listeners have been upbraiding me for listening to the cat food advertisement where I say we have a neighborhood cat where we feed. And they're like, that's your cat now. You have to take it in.
And while I was snowed out in New York, my family took it in without me. So, you know, we have each other and a stray cat. So that's what we got.
There is something in the bulwark water because JVL also got a cat like in the last few weeks.
So I know a stray as well. I don't know. You know, we're just, we can't help the people. So maybe we're going to help the feline community. All right. You've got a new pod. I do. Mona Charon show. I've had a couple of episodes now. So I want to give you a chance to talk about that, what the goal is, and then we'll get into the parade of horror. Yeah.
