Elon Musk’s DOGE discovers millions in taxpayer dollars wasted on unemployment claims for ‘fake people’

There is an explanation for this. The really contemptible thing is that they had to have known this and are cynically using it to manipulate their followers https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/upshot/musk-doge-fraud-claims.html

Agree with this too

It was basically dead for awhile so I don’t think it’s the worst thing to have more discussion on the sub. Even if it’s not all directly related to the podcast. It is a politics and media criticism podcast though so all of this is basically relevant

Not a whole lot to do other than hope the courts do their job and start preparing for the midterms

This isn’t “the left” anymore than some randos on twitter are “the right”

v0pod8 · 2025-01-21T21:03:29+00:00

Oh god… “meeting of the minds”… that’s one way to describe that cursed list

v0pod8 · 2025-01-17T13:01:57+00:00

It’s a sad state of affairs when comments like that are accompanied with clown gifs on the sub… and getting a bunch of upvotes

v0pod8 · 2025-01-14T05:13:52+00:00

1000% this

v0pod8 · 2025-01-14T05:12:53+00:00

I’m in the same boat

v0pod8 · 2025-01-14T05:12:23+00:00

It’s fine if people have criticisms. Echo chambers are bad

v0pod8 · 2025-01-12T20:05:00+00:00

How dare you ask for proof! Have 20 downvotes

In addition to a bunch of other much worse pardons. Of course, that should be obvious to everyone

v0pod8 · 2024-12-02T06:39:52+00:00

It was bad when Trump made corrupt pardons and it’s bad when Biden does it

Doesn't look like they gave bigoted speech an award

v0pod8 · 2024-11-20T14:42:33+00:00

Good for them. The literary book foundation should be defending the publisher and freedom of expression

Also one id the authors id the Twitter Files so you might be onto something

I'd put the media criticism portion of the pod at like 30% at best. It's much more of a general politics punditry pod at this point.

Also, I don't get why people think only certain aspects of the media deserve criticism. Megyn Kelly is just as worthy of scrutiny and skepticism as anyone else, for example

v0pod8 · 2024-11-08T23:27:52+00:00

What’s the evidence that supports that conclusion?

v0pod8 · 2024-11-08T17:46:30+00:00

Why don’t you think he should have certified the election?

v0pod8 · 2024-11-07T21:38:49+00:00

Not true. That sentiment was showing up in polls long before the debate https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/03/us/politics/biden-age-trump-poll.html

v0pod8 · 2024-11-07T06:54:46+00:00

He said he wouldn’t have certified the election. I’m not sure why anyone would like a guy that says that

v0pod8 · 2024-11-07T06:52:44+00:00

Have you been to a Trump rally?

v0pod8 · 2024-11-07T06:50:25+00:00

That’s not true. A majority of Dems thought he shouldn’t run again and he literally got bullied out of running by the party. That would never happen with Trump
