The second week of Donald Trump’s assembly of a new cabinet ended with a thud: the dumping of Matt Gaetz as attorney general and the nomination of Pam Bondi, who when she was Florida’s attorney general fired the first two prosecutors to investigate the mass use of false documents to kick people out of their homes after the 2008 financial crisis. (The subjects of those investigations happened to be her donors.) This week on our live show, David Dayen and writing fellow Emma Janssen talk about the Gaetz-Bondi swap, along with RFK Jr.’s plans to Make America Healthy Again, the tensions around Trump’s as-yet-unfilled seat for Treasury secretary, and how mass deportations might be carried out.
As we cover the new regime in Washington and its impact on your life, we’ll be livestreaming every Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET to give you the information you need to understand the week in news. We will be off next week for the Thanksgiving holiday but back in December. Join us by subscribing to our YouTube channel today!
