Pope Trump Says Goodbye to Veterans Day

Send us a text

Trump dressed as the Pope, wants to rename Veterans Day, and Tesla Cybertrucks are literally losing parts on the freeway—but that’s just the start.
 This week on The Monday Breakdown, we’re peeling back the layers on headlines that feel more like satire than reality. We’re talking dangerous vanity, policy propaganda, and state-level threats to human rights.
Spoiler: Iowa’s attacking trans protections, Nevada is trying to control teen pregnancies, and New York might finally do right by survivors of sexual abuse.
If you’re feeling like the news should come with a trigger warning—it’s because it absolutely should. Let’s break it down.
