Summary

This morning we’re breaking down Donald Trump’s latest attempt to turn the Epstein files into a political weapon. Trump is now calling on the Department of Justice to release any Epstein-related material involving Democrats, openly saying he wants to “embarrass them.” It’s an absurd and dangerous move, taking something horrific and deeply serious and twisting it into a partisan distraction, all while ignoring the fact that Trump himself appears repeatedly in the Epstein files. We’ll unpack why this tactic matters, what it reveals about Trump’s desperation, and how it undermines the very idea of accountability and justice for victims. Then we pivot to Nancy Pelosi’s recent ABC News interview, where she predicted that Democrats will take back the House in 2026. Is that realistic? What would it take to pull it off? And how much does the current chaos factor into that path forward? This episode is brought to you by the Freedom From Religion Foundation. Make a tax-deductible donation to FFRF before December 31st.
