Trump’s Summer of Gloom and Doom + A Conversation with Andy Ostroy

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Andy Ostroy, political commentator, producer, and host of The Back Room with Andy Ostroy. We dig into Trump’s accelerating authoritarianism, from his push to federalize D.C. police and undermine mail-in voting to his casual talk of a third term. We break down the stakes of President Zelenskyy’s recent visit to the White House, Gavin Newsom’s role in countering MAGA’s propaganda machine, and how the DNC needs to prepare for the midterms. Andy and I also discuss Trump’s growing grip on power, his ties to Epstein that continue to haunt him, and how lies, fear, and raw ambition are reshaping American politics in real time.
