Summary
First up, Trump “floated” invoking the Insurrection Act—because apparently court orders are just suggestions now. He wants to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities like it’s a game of Risk, and Oregon Republicans are out here posting fake images to hype it up. Photoshop and foolishness, y’all.
Then we check in with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who showed up to a Senate hearing and gave nothing but insults and sneers. No answers, no accountability—just full-on Real Housewives energy.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration is planning to withhold back pay from furloughed federal workers after the shutdown ends. Because nothing says “thank you for working without pay” like... not paying them.
And speaking of the shutdown, flight delays are stacking up nationwide. Air traffic controllers are short-staffed, unpaid, and still keeping planes in the sky while the government plays chicken with basic services.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get more absurd—The White House is hosting a UFC fight for Trump’s 80th birthday. That’s right. A cage match. At the people’s house. We. Can’t. Even.
Frances and Angela are here to laugh through the madness, drag the nonsense, and give you The Final Word on a week that proves once again: reality is broken, and we’re just living in it.
