James and Lisa discuss why the Epstein Files release seems untrustworthy, Trump's dangerous all-caps freakout about being limited to giving legal orders, the president's sliding poll numbers, and MBS at the White House.

We're witnessing what could be the most perplexing era in American history.

Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.

You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.

There's no cure for stupidity. But we can prevent it. Get your dose of sanity here.
