On episode 834 of The Tim Corrimal Show, I am joined at the round table with Joe (Joseph Santorsa on Facebook and @marnus3.bsky.social on BlueSky) and Justice Putnam (@justiceputnam.sky.social on BlueSky and @justiceputnam@sfba.social on Mastodon) from NetrootsRadio.com and http://www.dailykos.com/user/justiceputnam.

On the show this week we discuss Rudy Giuliani being hospitalized in critical condition, the Jan 6 insurrectionists that Trump pardoned being arrested in a massive human trafficking sting, and Iran’s attacks on U.S. warships in the Strait of Hormuz. Next we discuss that intelligence indicates limited damage to Iran’s nuclear program, White House lawyers prepping staff for dealing with a Democratic Congress, a poll showing that most Americans say that Trump is mentally and physically unfit to serve effectively, and Trumps disapproval rating hitting an all-time high. Then we discuss the United Airlines flight that hit a light pole on the New Jersey turnpike while landing, Republicans proposing $1 billion dollars in taxpayer funds for Trump’s ballroom, and the results of the Primary elections in Ohio and Indiana. Next we discuss Marco Rubio saying that the War Powers Act is unconstitutional, GOP Rep. Chuck Edwards facing an ethics probe over conduct toward female staffers, and that the first wave of Trump tariff refunds are supposed to start on May 12th. Then we discuss Trump’s border czar threatening an ICE surge in New York if it approves sanctuary measures and the rumors that he is running ICE without input from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, DOJ’s demands for the personal information of Fulton County 2020 election workers, and that soil at D.C.’s public golf course where the East Wing demolition debris was dumped is testing positive for toxic metals. Next we discuss a second Judge barring DOJ from searching a Washington Post journalist’s devices, the Secret Service officer who was arrested for indecent exposure outside of a woman’s hotel room, and Trump being mocked online over his children’s fitness event in the Oval Office. Then we discuss the FBI investigating leaks to the Atlantic journalist who wrote the article on Kash Patel’s alcohol use, a Federal Judge unsealing an alleged suicide note written by Jeffrey Epstein, and the FBI raids of Virginia state Sen. L Louise Lucas’s office. Next we discuss Trump asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his $88 million dollar judgments for defaming E. Jean Carroll, southern state legislatures rushing to redraw district lines to eliminate Democratic Congressional seats after the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, and the 3 patients who were evacuated from the hantavirus outbreak cruise ship. Then we discuss Howard Lutnick’s testimony before the congressional panel investigating Epstein, airline fuel costs jumping 56% in March, and that DHS has reportedly shut down the office that investigates abuse of immigrants at detention centers. Next we discuss average gasoline prices climbing 31 cents in the past week toping $4.50 a gallon, that satellite images show that Iran hit far more U.S. military assets than reported, and the Trade Court striking down Trump’s second round of tariffs. Then we discuss the Trump administration wanting to make it legal to mail hand guns through U.S. Postal mail claiming that the 1923 law prohibiting it is unconstitutional, the announcement that the U.S. will start revoking passports for parents who owe child support, and Sen. Susan Collins revealing a ‘benign’ tremor and saying it hasn’t affected her job and how she feels. Next we discuss DeSantis acknowledging that Florida may shutdown Alligator Alcatraz since it never received the funding from DHS to pay for it, Kash Patel reportedly ordering polygraphs for dozens of staff members over leaks to the press, and Kevin Hassett bragging that the U.S. economy is doing great because credit card spending is through the roof. Lastly we discuss U.S. intelligence saying that Iran can outlast Trump’s Hormuz blockade for months, a poll showing that Americans voice broad bipartisan support for age caps in Congress, the Virginia Supreme Court blocking the congressional maps approved by voters, and the Pentagon release of declassified UFO files including images held by the government for decades.
