Trump & Musk: Rapid unscheduled disassembly

On the latest episode of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice share a hearty laugh with Joe Sudbay, who hosts “State of the States” on SiriusXM Progress, over the rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump-Musk bromance.

The trio dive into:

* How the crackup threatens the passage of Donald Trump’s “big beautiful bill”

* Why JD Vance is screwed no matter what side he takes

* Why Elon Musk has made his (probably disgusting) personal life fair game

And much, much more!
