Dave Karpf on how 'savvy' tech-bros blew up their favorite bank

We've Got Issues

Joshua Holland kicks off this week's show with a look at a Florida lawmaker who may perfectly represent the modern GOP--he wrote the state's infamous 'Don't Say Gay' law while swindling tax-payers out of fraudulent covid relief funds.

Then we're joined by Dave Karpf, a professor of media and public affairs at George Washington University to talk about how Elon Musk is steering Twitter straight toward bankruptcy, the saga surrounding the Silicon Valley Bank and the pitfalls of covering the right's endless moral panics.
