Alyssa Mastromonaco is joined by Errin Haines from The 19th to discuss Trump’s (obvious) failed promise to protect women, Nancy Mace’s insanity on the house floor, DOGE’s attacks on the Department of Education, and the gutting of The Kennedy Center’s board. They also are feeling petty af about Bridget Jones's Diary, but at least Martha Stewart’s revival is keeping them sane.
