Summary
First, they completely lose their appetites over Vogue’s glowing puff piece on Gov. Gavin Newsom, who is widely expected to run for president in 2028. The article opens by swooning over his appearance and only sinks further from there. Jim says this type of profile is the opposite of real journalism but we'll see a lot more of this as the election gets closer.
Next, they dig into the latest batch of Epstein files, which include high-profile names such as Bill Gates and Richard Branson. Many of these associations reportedly continued well after Epstein’s Florida plea deal involving underage girls. Jim and Greg have zero sympathy for anyone who knowingly remained in Epstein’s orbit long after those crimes were public.
Finally, Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani earn failing grades for their cities’ embarrassing responses to a few inches of snow and ice. More than a week later, many streets are barely passable, trash is piling up, and numerous D.C.-area schools are still closed.
