Summary
Trump's $14 million reflecting pool renovation is already peeling and full of algae — but it’s “the vandals” who did it, right? We break down the reflecting pool fiasco, as well as a WSJ investigation exposes Polymarket's influencer program as a network of fake wins designed to look like real money. Iraqi-Assyrian comedian and actor Paul Elia joins for the news roundup. Then, Marxist economist and co-founder of Democracy at Work Professor Richard Wolff returns to break down the state of the economy under Trump — tariffs, trade wars, the CHIPS Act rollback, and what it actually means when the 1% point to the stock market and say that it proves everything is just fine.
