“Order, Chaos, and Evil” (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It’s in the Code ep 170

[CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains references to, and discussion of, death by suicide]. 

In this episode, Dan begins exploring what Josh Hawley calls “a man’s battle.” 

Hawley argues that what defines men, what gives them purpose, is fighting and confronting evil, and maintaining order in the face of chaos. 

But what exactly does this mean? And how does it make “evil” necessary? 

Why is this a tragic and dangerous view of the world? And what is the alternative? 

How can we understand “order” and “chaos” without falling into the trap of Hawley’s worldview? Check out the episode to hear Dan’s answers to these questions.

Trump vowed to help US farmers. These four say his policies are ‘wreaking havoc’ | Farming | The Guardian

"The policies of the Trump administration are wreaking havoc on family farmers. It's been terrible," said John Bartman, a row crop farmer in Illinois. Bartman is owed thousands of dollars for sustainable practices he implemented on his row crop operation as part of the USDA's Climate-Smart program. 

And he's not the only one. Other farmers across the country are reporting that the Trump administration's policies have destroyed their markets by ending programs that help farmers sell their produce to local schools and food banks; implementing draconian immigration policies that destabilize the farm labor pool; and generally creating volatility that makes it hard for farmers to plan ahead...

The Guardian view on Trump’s leftward lurch: the ‘lunatics’ are running the right | Editorial | The Guardian

This disarray isn't a side-effect; it's the method. Mr Trump borrows popular ideas, announces them with great fanfare, and then either fails to follow through or runs into a predictable mess. His approach is driven more by appearances. He shifts messages depending on the audience. One day he presents himself as a champion of working people, the next as a defender of corporate interests. It's a series of conflicting signals designed to keep him in control of the narrative...

Mark Leibovich and Molly Jong-Fast on Trump’s 100 Days (Al Franken podcast)

Trump’s first 100 days back in office have been a whirlwind filled with chaotic, confusing, and authoritarian behavior and very little thoughtful policy – the perfect opportunity to welcome back our friends, Mark Leibovich of The Atlantic and Molly Jong-Fast, host of the Fast Politics Podcast.

These 100 days have been filled with bizarre stories that we may have already forgotten about. So, we run through some of the under reported stories with Mark and Molly and get their opinions on some of the most damaging actions Trump and his administration have taken. Plus, we take a look at how Democrats can message their way back into better poll numbers.

From taking over Greenland to cutting FEMA to how the Supreme Court can use their powers to help reign in some of the chaos, we cover the landscape of the first 100 days and beyond! Only 1,356 days to go until his Presidency is over!

‘This Could Get Much Uglier’: The Fatal Flaw in Trump’s Trade War - POLITICO

In the meantime, the domestic manufacturing sector is shrinking amid corporate paralysis. "

Manufacturers are putting these decisions on hold," said Jay Timmons, head of the National Association of Manufacturers, in a CNBC interview ahead of the tariff announcement. "They're waiting to see whether they should invest and hire. And that's not good for the economy."...

Doge’s attack on social security causing ‘complete, utter chaos’, staff says

"It's just been a lot of craziness, a lot of foolishness. Until they get rid of Doge and the person in office right now, and the Republicans actually get a backbone and stand up for something for once in their lives, things are just going to be complete chaos. That's really the best word to describe SSA right now, just complete, utter chaos," the worker added. "They couldn't understand the coding, so everything they said SSA was doing illegally, they weren't. Common sense is something they lack. They don't know what they're doing."…

"...I've asked multiple corporate executives in recent weeks whether companies are likely to start investing in manufacturing in the United States in response to Trump's policies, and the message has basically been: That's an unanswerable question right now. Because making those decisions requires understanding the relative costs of doing it versus not doing it, and Trump is far too unpredictable to allow for that kind of calculation…"
