Summary

Alright y’all, let’s set the record straight—because this week, the nonsense levels are off the charts.

First up, the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles isn’t about law and order—it’s theater. That’s right, we’re talking big-budget political cosplay, complete with dramatic speeches, unnecessary uniforms, and absolutely zero solutions.

Then, we dive into our toxic relationship with Governor Gavin Newsom. How can one man be so wrong and so right at the same time?!?

Meanwhile, more than 340 National Institutes of Health employees and former staffers are accusing the Trump administration of dismantling the agency’s core research work—because apparently, science is just another thing they don’t believe in.

And in the latest episode of "How Many Bad Decisions Can One Administration Make?", Health Secretary RFK Jr. has fired all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel. Because when faced with expertise, this administration’s first instinct is to get rid of it.

Finally, how wrong does someone have to be when even the White House won’t let Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hire them? That’s right—when this administration thinks you’re too reckless, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices.

Tune in for all the facts, frustration, and well-earned side-eye—because this mess isn’t going to unpack itself.
