4/7/25 - Credible Explanations

In Which We Discuss:

1. The April 5th protests: A great place to be mad about…literally anything.

2. We famously love a filibuster stunt, but save your money. Cory Booker’s presidential campaign will be funded by the “good billionaires,” not your $5.

3. Did you ever wonder if there’s a reason you don’t understand what’s going on with these tariffs? Do you wish somebody credible would explain them to you? Us too.
