This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela wade through the swamp of absurdity, hypocrisy, and occasional existential dread that is modern politics. First, they tackle the Trump administration’s claim that deporting Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with protected status since 2019, was merely an “administrative error.” Because nothing says “oopsie” like putting them in a supermax prison in El Salvador.

Then, we confront the reality that Trump is “not joking” about seeking an unconstitutional third term. Spoiler alert: democracy is not amused. Meanwhile, we send a heartfelt BBQ invite to our Greenlandic friends who had the good sense to refuse a meeting with the Vice President and his wife. And seriously, who are the 25% of Americans who think Trump’s policies are improving their finances? Blink twice if you need help.

In other alarming news, RFK Jr. has hired a discredited vaccine skeptic to “study” the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory linking vaccines to autism. 

And in a dazzling display of irony, a career Department of Homeland Security employee is placed on leave after accidentally including a reporter in an internal memo about an upcoming ICE operation. Pro tip: you can only do this if it's classified attack information and you're the Secretary of Defense.

Finally, Tesla finds itself with some unexpected defenders. We’ll give you three guesses, but the first two reich don’t count. Yes, it’s as horrifying as it sounds.

All this and more on The Final Word, where biting commentary meets the absurdity of the week. Tune in, and maybe pour yourself a stiff drink first.
