Description

Sarah Longwell, Tim Miller, and JVL get into the wild new scandal involving Kristi Noem’s husband—and why the story isn’t what people think it is. They also discuss Trump’s chaotic handling of the Iran conflict, the political fallout at home, and whether his support is starting to crack. Plus: Lindsey Graham’s surreal Disney detour, protests across the country, CPAC’s decline, and JD Vance’s latest reinvention.

Remember, this woman cheered on her employees when they dragged an American citizen out of his house into the snow in his underwear. She didn't give two shits about his privacy. She didn't care when two people were shot dead in the streets. She doesn't care about anyone but herself.

I have zero interest in what consenting adults do with their free time. I do object to the hypocrisy.
