DOJ files to dismiss NYC Mayor Adams case after request set off wave of mass resignations Feb 15, 2025

Plus, we discuss what many consider to be America’s shame on the world stage as J.D. Vance and Pete Hegseth fumbled through the Munich Security Conference. But first, Trump’s take on law and order, as we seemingly now live in a country where the rule of law apparently comes second to what Trump wants.

Musk calls for U.S. government to ‘delete entire agencies’ Feb 14, 2025

Joy Reid leads this edition of The ReidOut with what many are calling a bait and switch.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk, the world's richest man, has used his version of X/Twitter to weaponize anti-immigrant hysteria, antisemitism, and even race science while buying his way into the Oval Office, experts believe. He now literally stands over the elected president, taking a buzzsaw to American democracy, gutting services that millions rely on, and burning the government to the ground while salting the ashes, according to critics. House Democratic Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) joins The ReidOut to discuss.

Trump expands Elon Musk's power to cut federal jobs Feb 13, 2025

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what she sees as the latest signs of the gangster-like governance of the current U.S. administration. The Department of Justice, under Donald Trump, has dismissed the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams in a way that keeps him vulnerable to future prosecution, while former WWE CEO Vince McMahon has seen a criminal probe into allegations of sexual misconduct dropped. Coincidentally, McMahon’s wife, Linda, is Trump’s nominee for Education Secretary, and her confirmation is expected to sail through. Meanwhile, reports are emerging of missing federal funds, and the first death has been attributed to the dismantling of USAID, with a 71-year-old refugee in Myanmar dying after her oxygen supply was cut due to hospital closures caused by the withdrawal of U.S. foreign aid. Plus, protests are growing at home, with an artist in D.C. unfurling a sign alleging that, "Elon is stealing your data," coinciding with Tesla’s stock dropping 13% since Trump’s inauguration.
