This news podcast discusses the first 11 days of Donald Trump's second term as president. The hosts and guests analyze several key events, including Trump's cabinet nominations (facing challenges in Senate confirmation hearings), the controversial firing of 17 inspectors general, and Trump's immediate politicization of a deadly plane crash in D.C. A significant portion focuses on the administration's attempt to temporarily freeze $3 trillion in federal spending, which was ultimately rescinded after facing legal challenges and widespread confusion. The episode highlights the administration's "move fast and break things" approach and its potential legal and political ramifications, exemplified by the conflicting memos and the ensuing legal battles.
