In This Episode
Erin and guest host Leigh McGowan (The PoliticsGirl Podcast) discuss Attorney General Todd Blanche’s corrupt first weeks in the new post, the administration’s blatant denial of the chaos unfolding on the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln, Trump’s scheme to take over the U.S. banking system, and the new data centers popping up all over the country. Then they analyze the rising cultural conversation around family estrangement. Then they wrap with a petty conversation about Trump’s BBC lawsuit and foodborne illness.
