Are you a non-democracy? Are you a dictatorship? Well, the U.S. government has been downgraded from a democracy to a non-democracy as of 2025. That has never happened before. Congratulations. I guess mission accomplished. because this is where we were always going to go. Our country right now is a kleptocracy run by oligarchs. It's that simple. And relax.

As predicted, Trump used his SOTU speech to try to pin his wheelbarrow of stupid mistakes on Joe Biden as the US economy starts to nosedive. It's almost impossible to believe that an economy so healthy could go so wrong so quickly, but no one bankrupts businesses like Trump bankrupts businesses, so tanking the largest economy in the world is just more of the same. Sara Estep from The Center for American Progress and Alex Nguyen of Mother Jones are our guests.
