Pod Save America - Trump’s War on the U.S. Government

Donald Trump and Elon Musk continue their all-out assault on the federal government, shuttering USAID, rooting out and firing workers linked in any way to diversity initiatives, and breaking and ignoring laws as they go. Jon and Dan hash out all the latest, including Trump's plan to have the US "own" and redevelop Gaza, Democratic pushback, and whether federal judges will step in to stop—or at least slow—the madness. Then, Tommy talks with Sen. Brian Schatz about Democrats' all-night floor fight against Trump's OMB pick, what they think is working, and how they're gearing up for the big battles ahead.

1A - Donald Trump And Elon Musk Are Targeting USAID

USAID workers worldwide were pulled off the job Tuesday as President Donald Trump's administration posted notices online and sent emails telling employees that the government's spending overseas is now considered a waste and that they have 30 days to return home.

These workers have also been placed on leave effective midnight Friday. The organization's website was recently taken offline. What happens next?

We discuss what these moves mean for the future of America's international relationships and the potential consequences for people around the world who relied on this work and funding.
