Meghan’s riding solo today while Miranda battles a summer bug (don’t worry, she made her take the day off). But she’s got backup: political commentator Ryan Girdusky and The Hill’s Amie Parnes are here to break down the biggest stories heading into the Fourth of July weekend.

From American patriotism hitting record lows, to UPenn officially scrubbing Lia Thomas’s wins, to the slow-motion meltdown of the Musk-Trump bromance... nothing’s off-limits. It’s sharp, punchy, and full of fireworks.

Meghan and Miranda will be back after the holiday weekend — have a fabulous Fourth!
