Summary
This week on Fake the Nation, comedian and host Negin Farsad is joined by journalist/podcaster Nayeema Raza (Smart Girl Dumb Questions) and comedian/podcaster Pete Dominick (Standup With Pete Dominick). Together, they discuss new research about the behavior of cats! And, they ask if it's suddenly very embarrassing to have a boyfriend. On the political front, they look at the changes in policy for asylum seekers and green card holders. Plus, what do we do about Pete Hegseth's war-crimey leadership? Finally, Costco is suing the Trump administration over tariffs... because it turns out businesses haven't liked these tariffs. It's a banger. Enjoy!
