Summary

As ICE raids roll on, comedian Vanessa Gonzalez and political director of United We Dream Michelle Ming join to talk real community safety and defense. Then, MAGA gets played like a fiddle as Trump’s DOJ seals the Epstein case/covers his tracks. Plus, Cancun Cruz is now Tourist Ted as he’s spotted in Greece instead of in his home state that’s dealing with the tragic fallout of unprecedented flash flooding. *UPDATE ON THE SHOW* There will no longer be a live bonus Wednesday show or a Friday show. Francesca is going to take the time to refocus on longer-form deep dives that can also be funny. Back to the Newsbroke bread and butter now that her team is stronger thanks to you. The audio version of these will be posted on the feed, but there will be fewer “epsiodes” These investigative pieces take more work however and your support is dearly appreciated.
