This week on Ring of Fire!

The feud between Donald Trump and Elon Musk erupted in hilarious fashion this week after Musk freaked out about Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” which caused Trump to have an even bigger freakout. Trump threatened to use DOGE to destroy Musk’s government subsidies and contracts, which are basically the only things keeping Musk’s companies running. But then he took it a step further and suggested he might DEPORT Musk.

In response to Donald Trump’s attack on Iran, a group of Iranian hackers that got into Trump’s campaign emails last year is now threatening to make those communications public. The group had initially declined to make the material public after Trump won the election, but they have since changed their tune since he bombed their country. The administration is already freaking out about this prospect.

According to a public health expert who is speaking out about the Trump / Republican budget bill, the cuts in the bill could lead to an additional 51,000 deaths per year. Tens of thousands of people are expected to now go to an early grave just so the top 1% of Americans don’t have to pay an additional 1.5% in taxes each year (and yes, that is the amount they are saving at the expense of other people’s lives.)

All that, and so much more, on this week’s Ring of Fire Podcast!
