Antispiral

On this episode of Antispiral, Trump gets smuggled out of Turkey in a catering truck in what might be the most Tom & Jerry shit you’ve ever heard. Also, his endorsements take some major Ls, a federal judge expands the block on one of his EOs, and we wave a blissful goodbye to Karoline Leavitt.

As always, I’m calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.

This week on Antispiral, Todd Blanche becomes Trump’s newest fall guy after securing his confirmation in the Senate to be the new AG. Also, I dive into Trump’s approval ratings hit historic lows, the lawsuit with Capital One, the latest on Max Miller, and Trump’s loser DOJ losing even more cases.

On this episode of Antispiral, I am diving into all of the areas where Trump is feeling trapped and why he has no way out but to cave to those defying him. All of the latest updates on the chaos surrounding Todd Blanche's nomination, Republican infighting that's delaying Trump's agenda, and why the escalating war with Iran may be exposing the limits of his presidential power.

Plus, quick hits on Trump's election executive order heading to the Supreme Court and the Democrats’ first blue flip of the 2026 midterms.

As always, I’m calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.

On this episode of Antispiral we are diving into the question on everyone’s mind: what is going on with Mitch McConnell? I’m breaking down the logistics behind him returning to the senate or Kentucky having to replace him, and why Republicans are struggling without their favorite epitome of walking dust. I also dive into the not-so-ceasefire agreement and the fallout from this week.

Plus, quick hits on the Graham Platner situation and a huge win for Planned Parenthood.

This week on Antispiral, we’re keeping it short and sweet! I’m breaking down one of Trump's worst legal weeks in months. From major Supreme Court losses on birthright citizenship and mail-in ballots to the final rejection of his appeal in the E. Jean Carroll case, I’m diving deeper into the impact each one has had and why they are major losses for Trump.

Plus, quick hits on the TikTok Community Guidelines censoring this information as well as the “Alito is retiring” false alarm (one can only dream).

This week on Antispiral, Trump had a rough one. We’re breaking down his growing list of losses. Court defeats, congressional pushback, failed endorsements, and the slow erosion of power. Plus, quick hits on the housing bill debacle and the negotiations with Iran that Trump continues to disrupt with his lack of self control.

This week on Antispiral, we’re breaking down the alleged White House mole and what they revealed about the Situation Room meeting where the Trump administration plotted their cover-up of the Epstein files. I dive into why this is about so much more than just a leak - it’s about how the moment exposed cracks in Trump’s control, his grip on his own movement, and the beginning of the decline of the power he’s built around being untouchable.

Plus, quick hits on the growing group of congress members defying Trump and what he did to piss them off this week.

As always, we’re calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.

The Big Lie is back, but we’ve seen this film before. This week on Antispiral, we’re breaking down why Trump’s 2020 election challenges failed, why the same tactics won’t magically work this time, and why the people actually in charge of elections (not the president) are the ones who decide what happens, and STILL can’t do anything about it. Plus, quick hits on Trump’s Iran chaos, a shocking Talarico endorsement, and the boo heard around the world.

As always, we’re calling out the chaos, highlighting the wins, and keeping you informed without sending you into a spiral.
