Summary

Economics of Wrongness: A Guided Tour Through the Upside‑Down

Baby, gather your coins, your courage, and your emotional support beverage, because this week we are spelunking into the deep, musty caverns of America’s economic wrongness—and trust us, the air quality down there is not OSHA‑compliant.

We kick things off with Trump suing the IRS in a way that somehow puts him on both sides of the same case. Yes, you heard that right. He’s the plaintiff and the defendant. We don’t know if this is a legal strategy or a cry for help, but either way, it’s giving “I lost the plot three seasons ago.”

Then we revisit that sweet little promise from the start of his first term—you remember, the one where he vowed he and his family would never do anything that could even be perceived as exploitative of the presidency. Cut to today, where the profiteering meter has hit $4 billion and is still climbing like it’s trying to reach the top shelf at Costco. We break down how we got here, why it matters, and why our eyebrows are now permanently arched.

Next up: the richest players in the upcoming elections. A.I., Crypto, Pro‑Israel groups, and Trump himself are all throwing around money like it’s confetti at a billionaire’s quinceañera. We talk about what that means for democracy, for voters, and for anyone who still believes elections should be decided by people instead of portfolios.

And finally—because the universe refuses to give us a break—we wade through the swampy, stomach‑turning mess of last Friday’s Epstein files drop. It’s gross, it’s infuriating, and it’s a reminder that accountability in this country is allergic to sunlight. But we walk through it together, with compassion, clarity, and the appropriate amount of side‑eye.

Join us as we laugh to keep from screaming, scream to keep from crying, and try—once again—to make sense of a world that keeps insisting on being nonsensical. Something ain’t right, but we’re here to talk about it with love, wit, and a whole lot of truth.
