Summary

This morning, we start with a powerful and emotional message from the family of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most well-known victims. They are speaking out, directly and forcefully, against Donald Trump, and their words deserve to be heard. We’ll cover their response with the respect it warrants. Then we turn to Wisconsin, where GOP Rep. Bryan Steil got a taste of how voters are really feeling. Let’s just say... it was not a warm welcome. Boos, heckling, and some very pointed questions made for a town hall he won’t forget. And finally, the Smithsonian has quietly removed Trump from its impeachment exhibit at the American History Museum. Because apparently rewriting history is the new MAGA-approved curriculum. Are we seriously sanitizing reality to spare Trump’s ego? It’s a lot. Grab your coffee. Let’s get into it. This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile.
