This week on The Final Word, we dive into the latest absurdities from the Trump administration, starting with the First Family’s bold new venture into meme coins. Yes, because if there’s one thing democracy needed, it’s a crypto scheme that enriches the Trumps while making financial ruin fun.

Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary (and villain in an imaginary movie titled Puppies vs. Kristi Noem) straight-up refused to answer Representative Lauren Underwood’s question about whether due process is a fundamental right in the Constitution. Because apparently, answering basic civics questions is optional now.

Then, the New York Times reports that U.S. intelligence agencies don’t actually believe Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, is working with the Tren de Aragua criminal gang—which would be inconvenient for the Trump administration, since that’s their entire excuse for deporting Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Facts: tricky little things.

Speaking of problems, Trump just can’t quit Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who remains determined to redefine "military leadership" by misplacing planes and halting aid to Ukraine—without having the actual authority to do so. Then there’s China, Trump’s invisible trade deals, and his latest plan to start sending detainees to Libya. Because if there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that detention policies dreamed up by incompetent authoritarians always end super well.

And finally, some good news! MAGA had a truly terrible night in Texas, losing 0-11 in Tarrant County’s three largest cities, proving that even deep-red territory sometimes chooses not to be ridiculous.

All this and more on The Final Word, where we sift through the nonsense so you don’t have to.
