This week on Red, White & Bruised: Tennessee's 7th District special election is somehow competitive in a Trump +22 district, and it's all thanks to Aftyn Behn, a progressive state rep who won't apologize for hating bachelorette parties or fighting corporate tax dodgers. We break down why her campaign is the blueprint Democrats need and why Republicans are in full panic mode.

Then: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth allegedly ordered the military to "kill everybody" on a suspected drug boat, leading to a second strike on survivors—which is, you know, a war crime. Robin dissects the messy timeline, the conflicting White House stories, and why this scandal is just getting started.

Plus: Luigi Mangione is back in court fighting to suppress evidence in the UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case, and his legal battle is revealing uncomfortable truths about America's broken healthcare system and why so many people can't condemn a murder without adding "but I understand why."

And finally: Trump's revenge prosecution of James Comey spectacularly collapses after a federal judge rules the prosecutor's appointment was unconstitutional. Schadenfreude at its finest. 

Grab your coffee (or wine) and let's go.
