The conservative push to weed out anti-Trump federal workers

Groups aligned with former President Trump are hunting through information to come up with a list of federal employees who might be resistant to a second Trump administration. We’ll discuss the push to reshape government. Plus, is the urban/rural divide a myth? And, a viral voicemail pep talk from a testing center worker makes us smile.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “In This Debate, CNN Is the Decider” from The New York Times




• “Growing rural-urban divide exists only among white Americans” from Cornell Chronicle




• “The Number of People Primarily Working From Home Tripled Between 2019 and 2021” from the U.S. Census Bureau




• “Conservative-backed group is creating a list of federal workers it suspects could resist Trump plans” from AP News




• “A 3-year-old voicemail goes viral, leads to emotional reunion” from The Washington Post




• “Why Men Are ‘Rawdogging’ Flights” from GQ
