Summary

Texas Democrats packed their bags and peaced out to block a GOP-led redistricting vote, and honestly, who can blame them? The proposed map is a textbook case of gerrymandering, designed to rig future elections. But this isn't just about Texas. Other states are now eyeing similar moves, raising the question: where does this end? And more importantly, what can (and should) Democrats be doing to stop this anti-democracy circus? Plus, we’ve now gotten a peek inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan lair, and yes, it’s just as creepy and grotesque as you'd imagine. We’ll break down the latest developments in the Epstein-Trump-Ghislaine triangle of filth, including what new files are revealing and what Trump’s very defensive behavior might be trying to cover up. It’s redistricting, resistance, and rich creeps being exposed, let’s go. This episode is sponsored by Wild Alaskan. Not all fish are the same! Get seafood you can trust.

It's never about, I'll watch your skincare routine. Whereas women walk into a room and because we've been taught to be pitted against each other. Yeah. Not always, but sometimes there's, oh my God, you know, I can't. It's a bit of a barrier. Yeah, yeah. and it shouldn't be there.

1:27.9	And especially Democrats want the type of energy.

2:09.2	And I think they're worried about, oh, my gosh, we can't make a mistake. And if we make a mistake, we're going to get canceled. The only people are going to cancel you, Democrats, are you. And you're
2:14.2	going to cancel yourself by trying to be too perfect all the time.
2:18.4	No one cares about perfection anymore.
