We begin with the powerful press conference held by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Capitol. These courageous women stood tall, reclaimed their voices, and demanded real accountability from lawmakers. It was raw, it was righteous, and it was long overdue.
Then we turn our gaze to Health Secretary RFK Jr.—aka Brain Worms—who got absolutely grilled by the Senate. More than 1,000 current and former HHS employees have called for his resignation, and after watching that hearing, we’re wondering how he’s still holding onto his badge and parking space.
Meanwhile, Trump’s out here trying to play political puppet master, allegedly offering Mayor Eric Adams a federal job to quietly nudge him out of the New York mayoral race. Because nothing says “democracy” like backroom deals and hush-hush handshakes.
Down in Florida, the state is gearing up to become the first to eliminate all childhood vaccine mandates—including for public school kids. We’re not saying it’s reckless, but if you hear coughing in the background, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
And in a rare moment of judicial clarity, a Federal Appeals Court blocked Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members. Turns out, even the Constitution has limits—who knew?
Plus, we read a bunch of your emails, and y’all did not hold back. From outrage to insight to pure comedy, we love hearing from you.
