Summary

This morning we're diving into the ongoing ICE crisis, where federal immigration enforcement continues to spark outrage and protests after the killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good in Minneapolis, incidents that have led to national demands for accountability and major pushback against the Trump administration’s tactics. We’ll also break down Donald Trump’s latest attacks on elections, including his suggestion that the federal government should take a more active role or “nationalize” voting to protect GOP outcomes. And yes, we’ll talk about Trump’s repeated efforts to shrug off the Epstein files, insisting Americans “move on” even as fresh revelations continue to surface. America is not okay.
