The president had 60 days to ask Congress for permission to keep fighting a war with Iran. Today was the deadline. He didn't ask. He sent a letter saying the war is "terminated," while 50,000 troops remain deployed, the naval blockade continues, oil sits at $118 a barrel, gas is at $4.12, and the Secretary of Defense told the world he could resume strikes "at the push of a button."


Meanwhile, his sons signed a Pentagon drone deal. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. The Fifth Circuit blocked mifepristone from being mailed anywhere in the country. A whistleblower revealed the DOJ rushed the SPLC indictment. Infowars went dark forever. The new surgeon general nominee has spent years publicly calling out RFK Jr. And the owner of Politico told his journalists to support Israel or resign.


Robin breaks down the entire week: the War Powers Resolution deadline and why Trump's "ceasefire means the war is over" argument is constitutionally indefensible. The Trump family drone company Powerus and how Don Jr. and Eric are positioned to profit from their father's unauthorized war. The Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling eviscerating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, the DOJ's gleeful "we are ON IT" response, and the state-by-state domino effect already underway in Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and beyond. The Fifth Circuit's nationwide ruling blocking mail-order mifepristone and what it means for abortion access in every state. The SPLC whistleblower who says Associate Deputy AG Aakash Singh ordered prosecutors to rush a weak indictment against a civil rights organization for the crime of infiltrating white supremacist groups.


Casey Means getting pulled and Nicole Saphier's history of criticizing Kennedy's anti-vaccine empire. Alex Jones' slurred champagne farewell and The Onion's plan to turn Infowars into a parody of itself. Axel Springer CEO Mathias Dopfner demanding Politico journalists back Israel or leave. And the DNC burying its own autopsy to protect Kamala Harris' 2028 bid.


This is what a single week looks like when every guardrail fails at once.


New episode. We Saw the Devil.
