I feel like each of those stories that you said in the beginning of this episode in that intro right there, Ben, each of them could be a months-long, if not a years-long story in any other particular time.
But we know the Trump administration, now going back to both administrations, has a concerted strategy of just flooding the zone with shit.

That's what we see every day.
And so the thing one thing I want to make sure like and I want to just say this kind of at the top, we'll get into it a little deeper as we speak about some of our reporting and whatnot.
But I think a real problem that we're seeing is that some of these stories that are coming out of this regime are so insane.

I assure you, yes, we will never, ever, ever publish anything that isn't 100% verified, sourced incredibly well.

We have a president who is sending the military into cities.
We have a president who is indicting his political enemies.
