Hard-Headed America, Policy Whiplash, and Oval Office Nonsense—The Week in Chaos

This week on The Final Word, we gather more undeniable evidence that Americans—bless their hearts—are hard-headed. Case in point: House Republicans narrowly passed their "Big, Beautiful..." tax plan, which, in classic form, translates to big, beautiful giveaways for the rich at the expense of everyone else. Proving, once again, that there is no low too low for this MAGA-fied GOP.

Meanwhile, the Trump Justice Department decided to mark the anniversaries of police brutality killings in Minneapolis and Louisville with an especially bold insult: moving to dismiss the very police reform agreements created in response. Because nothing says justice quite like deliberately unraveling accountability.

And world leaders—bless their hearts—keep strolling into the Oval Office like there’s any possibility of a rational conversation. This week’s guest, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, was treated to a Trump monologue pushing false claims of “genocide” against White Afrikaner farmers. That’s right—another Oval Office meeting, another alternate reality.

Speaking of chaos, the Justice Department is charging Representative LaMonica McIver with assaulting federal law enforcement officers during a confrontation outside a Newark ICE facility. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary and known cosplay enthusiast Kristi Noem took to the mic to proudly mis-define “habeas corpus” as a constitutional right for the president to kick people out of the country. It’s not. But points for confidence?

We digest the madness so you don’t have to on The Final Word.
