James and Lisa discuss the comet that could be a spaceship, a new round of harmful tariffs, and Pete Hegseth's unusual, large, and expensive meeting. And Trump's efforts to weaponize the U.S. Department of Justice.

We're witnessing what could be the most perplexing era in American history.

Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.

You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.

There's no cure for stupidity. But we can prevent it. Get your dose of sanity here.
