Summary

Meghan and Tara Palmeri bring the tea with their piping-hot takes on Inauguration Day, spilling on everything from Biden’s eyebrow-raising last-minute pardons to MAGA’s wild resurgence (it’s giving “Trump Land.”) They dive into Elon Musk’s behind-the-scenes moves and break down AOC’s rise as the loudest—and possibly strongest—voice in the Democratic Party. With juicy rumors swirling about the Obamas and the left’s awkward silence, this episode is your backstage pass to what’s next in U.S. politics.
