Summary
This Trawl comes in TWO PARTS because there was simply too much to cram into just one episode.
This episode has Jemma and Marina diving face-first into the internet’s latest swamp: the Elon–Trump–Epstein–AI hell-spiral nobody asked for but everybody is talking about.
From Grok’s “alternative facts” rewriting reality in real time, to the newly released Epstein emails, which are lighting up X like a Christmas tree in hell, they break down the stories the press are tiptoeing around. The ones Fox News would rather swallow its own tongue than cover.
Marina and Jemma look at what the emails actually show, wonder who Bubba might be and have a live 'this is two episodes' moment.
There's also 'that' Piggy moment to rage at and Marjorie Taylor Greene's epiphany to discuss.
It’s politics, chaos and receipts — trawled so you don’t have to. Part two will be in your ears tomorrow
