31. iMAGA 47.0 w/ A “VERY STABLE” Genius Bar

Is Elon Musk trying to turn the U.S. government into an Apple Store? In this episode, we break down his latest vision for a sleek, tech-branded bureaucracy—because America needs a “VERY STABLE” Genius Bar for democracy.  We dive into exclusive new polling on Trump’s approval rating, the latest drama from Signalgate, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s meltdown over a British reporter. Tech journalist Taylor Lorenz joins us to talk about social media’s growing influence in politics, viral moments that matter (and some that don’t), and what a second Trump term could mean for the online world. All that, plus RFK Jr.'s eyebrow-raising pick for assistant health secretary, Kristi Noem’s questionable prison visit, and why the White House memes are getting weirder.
