His case against James Comey is a disaster and will likely be dismissed, the Epstein files took a giant step closer to being released, and the American people are correctly blaming him singlehandedly for screwing up the economy. He’s having yet another bad week. Not a surprise. My weekly conversation with Michael Cohen.

The Saudi Crown Prince paid a visit to the Oval Office yesterday, and Donald Trump did what he always does when he’s in the presence of killers & dictators - he praised the Crown Prince, bowed to him, sucked up to him, and lied for him. Disgusting & embarrassing. And yes, a shit stain on the presidency.

I sat down with Lev Parnas, political activist & truthteller, to talk all things Epstein/Epstein files. Voting to release the files is now a train that Trump can’t stop, but Lev reveals Trump’s plan to make sure the public never sees what’s inside the files. Because Trump is afraid of what’s in there. Really afraid.

Don’t lose sight of what matters here. Donald Trump is doing everything he possibly can to keep the Epstein files hidden. Even coming out last night and telling the House to vote to release the files. It’s all an elaborate act. He and Pam Bondi will not allow the public to see those files. It’s a great cover up.

I sat down with Susan Rice, former Ambassador to the United Nations and former National Security Advisor to discuss the growing authoritarianism in this country - what it is and what we must do to defeat it. A sobering, fascinating, but also hopeful conversation.

I’m serious. He’s a cheat, a serial adulterer, a rapist/sexual abuser, a felon, a traitor, a psychopath, an ignoramus, a bully, a fascist…I could go on and on. But on top of all the bad that Trump is, would it really matter to the American people if it turns out Trump is a pedophile too? Does personal character matter anymore?

I sat down with media and political historian Brian Rosenwald to discuss what this political moment in America means right now, what we can learn from history, and what is the future of both of our political parties. Fascinating conversation.

Trump lies as he breathes, and generally, his lies work. Lots of people, way too many, believe his lies - the “2020 stolen election” lie, the “they’re eating cats & dogs” lie. But his lies about the economy & affordability won’t work. Because we all LIVE the economy. We KNOW how much things cost.

Yes, the Democrats caved. Their voters just had one simple demand of them - FIGHT. And meet this moment. And they couldn’t even do that. But more importantly - the traitor in the White House pardoned all his Jan 6th co-conspirators. His latest attempt to rewrite and erase Jan 6th. Despicable.

Musk, Rubio, and Trump dismantled USAID, without any warning, in a matter of months. The results of this action have been catastrophic. Hundreds of thousands of people have died, 2/3’s of those who’ve died are children. That death toll will continue to grow. Public man mad death, all courtesy of Musk, Rubio, and Trump. And Congress & the Supreme Court did nothing to stop them.

I sat down with Miles Bruner, a long time GOP fundraiser and strategist, who, finally after a ten year struggle, publicly walked away from his livelihood and publicly left the Republican Party. It’s never easy, it takes courage, and it should always be applauded. Super interesting conversation

Yesterday was a total repudiation of Donald Trump. A total repudiation. In just one year, virtually every county in the country that voted yesterday shifted blue. But we resisters need to keep our foot on the gas. Because Trump is going to do everything he can do to cheat in and mess with the 2026 midterms. So we can’t let up. We must keep growing.

The MAGA coalition is a motley, fragile crew of conservatives to white supremacists to Christian nationalists to everything in between. They’ve all needed each other and Donald Trump has been a magnet for them. Is the coalition beginning to fracture? Is it too late to fracture? Has MAGA made their bed?

Donald Trump is a fascist, and every day he’s engaging in acts of fascism. And you know what? The American people, more and more, are paying attention. And the American people, more and more, don’t approve of what Trump is doing. Don’t like fascism. And people are speaking out and spreading the word. We gotta keep it up.

Another fascinating, challenging conversation with Ilana Redstone, author of “The Certainty Trap,” on what it’s gonna take for us to reasonably work thru & overcome the heated & divisive hand to hand political battles we’re bombarded with today. Are we up for the challenge? The jury is out.
