Summary
This week on The Final Word, Frangela is serving up a piping hot plate of truth with a side of “what fresh hell is this?” as the Trumpocalypse rolls on. First up: those “Liberation Day” tariffs are hitting harder than a bad perm—Yale Budget Lab says we’re all about to cough up an extra $2,400 this year. Thanks, economic freedom!
Meanwhile, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra dusts off his VHS of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and goes full “Blame Canada,” because apparently reality is just too spicy for the Trump administration. Over in census land, Trump wants to count people like he counts facts—selectively and incorrectly.
Texas Democrats are on the run (literally), trying to stop a redistricting plan so racist it makes Jim Crow blush. The FBI’s now playing hide-and-seek with democracy. And in international “what now?” news, Netanyahu says Israel’s just gonna go ahead and occupy all of Gaza. Cool cool cool.
Back home, Health Secretary RFK Jr. (aka Brain Worms) axes $500 million in mRNA vaccine funding, because science is scary and facts are rude. Oh, and the Library of Congress just casually deleted parts of the Constitution. No biggie—just the unlawful detention clause. Who needs rights anyway?
But don’t worry, Gavin Newsom is here with the shade and the sass, dragging Trump like a pro. And finally, Laura Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene remind us why we can’t have nice things—by turning their MAGA meltdown into a street brawl.
Grab your emotional support snacks, because Frangela’s got The Final Word on this week’s chaos carnival.
