We open our latest two-part episode with a song by Wisconsin band Secret Menu that tears the Trump regime and late-stage capitalism in general several new holes. The lyrics couldn’t be more fitting for this week’s news:

* US markets tank, the latest jobs numbers are staggeringly but predictably bad due to DOGE’s mass firings and failed economic policy, and Ole Yam Tits pulls his favorite move to avoid accountability: delay, deny, defend.

* It’s one step forward and two steps back as Congress seems to take a tepid stand against Trump and his DOJ’s efforts to keep the Epstein files out of the public view, which just fans the flames of the one big, burning question: Which rich and powerful people (besides himself) are they protecting?

* The masses demand relief for the people of Gaza as the rich and powerful continue to support Israel and its genocide.

* Here’s a vetted list of Palestinian family donation campaigns if you’re looking for a way to support Gazans <3

* Another evil, exploitative corporation’s CEO is assassinated: this time, the target is Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust (BREIT), which the UN publicly censured in 2019 for their worldwide trampling of human rights.

And of course, in Part 2 of this episode, we’ll finally get to our in-depth discussion of the ultimate evil CEO with a god complex, cofounder/Chairman of Palantir Technologies Peter Thiel.
