Summary
The Pope turned down Trump’s invitation to join the made-up Board of Peace, the president’s approval numbers have never been lower, RFK Jr. and Kid Rock posted a cringe workout video from Kid’s home gym, and Stephen has heartwarming news about a young monkey named Punch. “The Epstein Class” is a phrase coined by Senator Jon Ossoff to refer to the ultra-wealthy and political elites who are operating as if the rules don’t apply to them.
