Keeps playing with the screen off. The episode is played from Pod Save Americaβs own podcast host.
Senate Democrats signal they may be open to impeaching Pete Hegseth after the election if the House has the votes for it.Β
Jon, Tommy, and Lovett discuss why that trial would be a great use of a new Democratic Senate majority, Trump saying that the American economy is “the best in the world” despite record-setting diesel prices and stunningly low consumer sentiment, and Mike Johnson’s new claim that opposition to new data centers is “a Chinese psy-op.”Β
Plus, AI labs pause development of their most advanced models (over the president’s objections), Ambassador to China David Perdue admits that Trump tried to sell weapons to Xi Jinping, the White House keeps running political ads with taxpayer money, and Fox News’s Greg Gutfeld sounds off β on overweight sex workers.
