Trump Always Chickens Out

Donald Trump loses his cool when a reporter asks him about a
newly popular Wall Street phrase: TACO, aka Trump Always Chickens
Out. A federal court unanimously rules that the majority of
Trump’s tariffs are illegal — before an appeals court allows them
to remain in place (for now). And after 128 days of destruction,
Elon Musk's time as a Special Government Employee officially
comes to a close. Jon and Dan discuss the future of DOGE after
Musk, check in on Trump’s ongoing war with Harvard University,
and deliver a new Corrupt-date — this time on Trump’s clemency
spree. Then, Jon talks to Liz Oyer, a former DOJ Pardon Attorney,
about her MAGA successor’s very political approach to a
historically nonpartisan job.
