This week on The Final Word, the voters said “Not today, Satan—and not in 2028 either.” Democrats swept elections across multiple states, flipping governorships, legislative chambers, and ballot measures like it was a clearance sale on common sense.
California passed Proposition 50 with a strong 64%—giving Democrats the power to redraw five congressional districts in response to Republican gerrymandering. Because if you’re gonna play dirty, don’t be mad when the other side brings a mop.
Meanwhile, Trump blamed the losses on the government shutdown—and reminded us, he wasn’t even on the ballot. Sir, your fingerprints are all over this mess like a toddler in a pudding cup.
The shutdown just broke records:
- SNAP benefits delayed
- Insurance costs spiking
- And the FAA cutting air traffic by 10% in 40 major markets just to keep planes from playing bumper cars.
And finally, we drag the corporate-owned legacy media for failing to cover any of this with the urgency it deserves. Because when billionaires own the headlines, the truth gets buried under stock tickers and celebrity gossip.
Tune in for the receipts, the rage, and the righteous read—because this week’s final word is: “If democracy’s a fight, we came swinging.”

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
