James and Lisa discuss Dan Bongino's recent freakout over the handling of the Epstein files and why Oklahoma schools now embrace election lies. Then we get to this week's Main Thing for this episode, examining Trump's war on climate science, calls to ban imaginary weather manipulation and why reporters who list pronouns on their bios don't deserve answers about any topic whatsoever.
We're witnessing what could be the most perplexing era in American history.
Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.
You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.
There's no cure for stupidity. But we can prevent it. Get your dose of sanity here.
