In today’s firehose of a news cycle, Meseidy and Rachel tackle everything from the Trump administration's border crackdowns to confirmation hearing drama, and a surprisingly spicy spat with Colombia over deportations. The duo dives into ICE raids, RFKJ’s pharma fights, Tulsi Gabbard's grilling, and why coffee and flowers became a surprising political hot topic. Spoiler: no one’s more dramatic than mainstream media. If you’ve ever wondered how Dr. Phil ended up embedded with ICE or why CNN anchors need graphics to believe stats, this episode is for you.
