The Trump regime is an illegitimate, evil, corrupt, fascist enterprise.
Its supporters are hateful, cowardly, or deceived, but are all responsible.
I will speak out against the regime every single day until they are held accountable.

To be super clear, what he's talking about is letting people die untreated instead of providing healthcare to those who need it.
In his addled mind, this will mean only healthy people are left. *That's not how healthcare works in reality*. His model will create a sicker and poorer society.

Hopefully I won't get deported for not making the hat trick joke first. :)
well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that.
Did that sound different in your head?

Is all "American exceptionalism" just a staggering lack of self-awareness?

There are a couple of moments in this episode where I caught a mistake and clipped in a very obvious correction, and Chrys got a kick out of it. See if you can catch those in the video or audio versions!

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about.
I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant
Black text on a yellow background reads: “Authors Against Book Bans speak out” and “Ryan Estrada” accompanied by an image of a man wearing glasses and the cover of the book “Banned Book Club”
Black text on a white background that reads, “What’s your name and most challenged book?” “My name is Ryan Estrada. Ironically, my book Banned Book Club, which I wrote with my wife Kim Hyun Sook about her experiences smuggling illegal books under a dictator in 1980s Korea, has been banned in six different cities. My second most banned book is Occulted, about how my friend Amy Rose used banned books to escape a UFO death cult. I guess the book banners really don’t like to see that their tactics are the same as despots and cult leaders.”
Black text on a white background that reads, “What’s your experience with being banned?” “I thought I was writing about history. When we started writing in 2017, book banning was not a topic of discussion in the US. In fact, the reason we got our book deal was that the editor was SHOCKED at the idea that South Korea was only a few decades away from having state-banned books. By the time the book came out three years later, not only were books being banned by the hundreds, but our book quickly became one of them.”
![Black text on a white background that reads, “What do you wish readers in general knew about book bans? It’s all a show. They claim to be a giant network of parents concerned about pornography in schools, but that’s all a lie. It’s like a dozen people, and I know all of them [...] None of them have children in the school districts they target. Many don’t even live in those districts and drive in from another state. They are political operatives, funded by organizations whose investments in private schools are benefited by making public schools worse, or whose campaigns benefit from damaging libraries.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4e3azwmhkhqets2gvislixae/bafkreigjr6kl5qhobw3354hcjervbsnwu6usc3uqbmos4tpun6cfsb2oc4)
