This week on The Final Word, the streets are speaking and the message is loud: No Kings. From Paris to Pittsburgh, citizens are mobilizing like it’s a global Beyoncé tour—but instead of glitter, it’s righteous rage and cardboard signs that slap.
Then we get into the man Trump pardoned for his January 6th role—who allegedly turned around and threatened to kill House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. So much for rehabilitation. It’s giving “I learned nothing” energy.
Meanwhile, Trump wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million for investigating him. Sir, you are not a contestant on Shark Tank. You don’t get reimbursed for being shady.
In North Carolina, Republican lawmakers drew a new congressional map so crooked it needs a chiropractor. And in farm country, GOP senators are calling Trump’s plan to import Argentine beef a betrayal of “America First.” Spoiler: the cows are confused, and so are we.
Also, the White House says there are “no plans” for Trump to meet Putin “in the immediate future.” Translation: they’re waiting for the right lighting and a fresh can of hairspray.
And finally, the Treasury Department told staff not to share pics of the East Wing demolition or Trump’s new privately funded bribe shack/ballroom. Because nothing says transparency like “don’t post the evidence.”
Tune in, flannel up, and get your side-eye ready—because this week, the final word is: We see you. And we brought receipts.
