Episode 214 - Slush Fund Babies

Noam and Jen make it back a day late. It's ok, that's what a three day weekend means. We did have plenty to talk about though, seeing as Trump settled his lawsuit against his own IRS over something that happened during his last term and that means that there is now $17.76B of taxpayer money that can now be used for….well it's not really been determined what for. What's for certain is that all of the J6 participants think they have a check coming to them.  Thomas Massie lost his primary to some MAGA dude nobody really knows, but he still can't bring himself to say that Trump sucks. He did find time to take a shot at Israel though, despite them having nothing to do with his election loss. We think he might be the newest citizen of the post MAGA Podcastistan soon enough, maybe then he'll criticize the man who cost him his career. The war with Iran is still on. Or maybe it's off, No, it's still on. Still no deal with the US. Eventually someone is going to have to admit this whole situation is FUBAR and do something to fix it, although it seems like nobody wants to admit that to Trump just yet.  We spend a minute discussing the Trump administration wanting to talk to Hasan Piker and Medea Benjamin about their trip to Cuba. We also wonder what happened to all of those solar panels they brought to the Cuban people (jk we know the Cuban government took them).  For our WAWC, Noam is still making his way through season 3 of Euphoria, and Jen (and Noam) encourage everyone to go to the good Smithsonian Air and Space Museum out in Chantilly, VA.
