Here’s what we’re talking about today.
This is a quick rundown of the topics we’ll be covering on today’s show. You can hit play to listen, or read the transcript below if that’s more your style.
Transcript:
First, Republicans blocked Arizona’s newest Democrat from being sworn in for 50 days. The second she finally took the oath, she dumped on him, hit Trump on Epstein, signed the petition to force a vote to release the files, and told MAGA things they didn’t want to hear. We’re gonna look at it.
We’re also gonna look at JD Vance acting like Donald Trump doesn’t just want yes men when, of course, he wants yes men. It is absurd, but it tells you something bigger, which is that Vance is already kind of campaigning to inherit MAGA when Trump is done. And with Peter Thiel backing him, that is a real problem.
Stephen Miller is also back, pushing more of an authoritarian agenda, nuke the filibuster, mass deportations, cruelty. Fox hosts basically panic on air as they accidentally admit blue states are doing better than the red states that they worship.
And Trump breaks his own base again by saying the US needs more high skilled immigrants. When Vivek said it, they didn’t like it.
We’re also going to go deep on the real reason Trump is terrified of 2026 and it has to do with his crypto empire. If Democrats take the house, they get subpoena power, and that is Donald Trump’s nightmare.
And finally, Democrats do have a secret weapon for 2026 that MAGA hasn’t noticed, and it is all in the polling right now. Trump’s base disappears when he isn’t on the ballot. The numbers look like a repeat of 2018.
We will also get your messages, emails and comments in Friday Feedback, and remember that every new membership still is being donated to Feeding America, a hunger charity for whom we’ve raised over $12,000 already.
