Meseidy and Rachel dive into the constitutional drama unfolding around deportations, international diplomacy served with a side of cocktails, and the internal chaos of Democratic party politics. With their signature blend of sharp analysis and unfiltered commentary, the hosts break down how the Supreme Court's midnight ruling temporarily blocking deportations has created tensions between branches of government, while a controversial "Margarita Summit" in El Salvador raises questions about political theatrics and media narratives. The episode delivers a refreshing take on current events with the hosts' characteristic wit and zero patience for political spin.

Episode Highlights

• Supreme Court Drama - The court issued an unprecedented midnight order temporarily blocking deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, with Justices Alito and Thomas as the only dissenters.
• Margarita Summit Theater - Senator Van Hollen's meeting with deported Ilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador became a diplomatic spectacle, complete with contested cocktails and competing photo narratives.
• Constitutional Questions - The hosts explore concerns about judicial enforcement powers and whether the Supreme Court's unusual intervention signals deeper institutional anxieties.
• Democratic Party Tensions - David Hogg's announcement of plans to primary "ineffective" Democrats reveals generational conflicts and strategic confusion within the party.
• White House Easter - The Trump administration's Easter Egg Roll brought a return to tradition with corporate sponsors and a notably different atmosphere from previous years.
