Donald Trump’s second term is off to a chaotic, dangerous, and shameless start. From the absurd grift of Trumpcoin and Melania’s competing coin fiasco to the reckless pardoning of January 6th insurrectionists, it’s clear that this administration has no intention of playing by the rules. In this episode, we break down the unprecedented shamelessness of Trump’s new cabinet picks, the assault on birthright citizenship, and the chilling parallels to historical fascist playbooks.
And this episode has a fan-favorite Muskwatch segment, talking about why Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes at a far-right rally is just another step in normalizing the terrible, why he seems to never criticize China, and how Trump dissed him by not including him on the Stargate announcement.
Buckle up, because this administration is already redefining how low it can go—and it’s only been a week.

The Resistance Is Done, Long Live The Revolution

The Orange Menace takes office today and No Tacos For Tyrants is double-dipping into the salsa of revolution!
Matt talks about Biden's farewell speech and wonders why he didn't do more about the things he warns about while he could. He covers the terrible brand that the Democratic party has today, and how we need a drastic shakeup that gets rid of the gerontocracy and builds a compelling brand that can attract people back to the big tent that the Democratic Party used to be, because that's the only way we can truly defeat MAGA permanently.

Project 2025 Is Guiding America's Descent Into Fascism

Trump’s second-term playbook isn’t just a chaotic series of revenge plots—it’s an organized, premeditated plan to consolidate power, gut government agencies, and enforce a hard-right, Christian nationalist agenda. It’s called Project 2025, and it is being rolled out right now.

In this episode, we break down its origins, the Heritage Foundation’s role in shaping it, and how Trumpworld—including Silicon Valley’s most unhinged cabal of billionaires—is working to seize control of America’s future. From mass firings in the civil service to draconian immigration crackdowns, massive executive overreach, and the looming death of democratic institutions, this is the authoritarian roadmap we can’t afford to ignore.

What’s happening, what’s coming next, and—most importantly—what the hell we can do about it for now.
