Summary
Mary examines Republican victimhood politics, the fixation on the “weaponization of language,” and the widening gap between grievance and reality.
Plus a look at the surprising Democratic upset in Texas’s 9th Congressional District, the increasingly creative explanations that followed, and Kristi Noem’s border appearance where symbolism seemed to matter more than substance.
Also, new reporting on Melania’s $75 million Amazon documentary, including questions about its box-office numbers and a familiar pattern of manufactured success tied to the Trump brand.
It’s Trump Trolls Trump Week 55
Bonus content:
Mary introduces the debut of a new song from Nils Lofgren

| 1:00.9 | I'd send a cease and desist, but we all know how useless that would be. |
| 1:09.4 | Anyway, I'm wondering how much longer we can stand this. |

| 1:52.2 | I don't know what the opposite of gold is on the periodic table, but that's whatever that is, that's what it feels like. So today, yes, we're looking back at week 55, 55, which is how many years it feels like I've aged in that time. Listen, we may be staring down the barrel of an authoritarian regime, taking power, cementing power, but we're not going to look away. |
