Overview: In this episode, Elizabeth breaks down a chaotic and revealing 24 hours in American governance—from a bizarre FAA shutdown over El Paso to explosive developments in the Epstein files review and growing fractures inside Congress.
She explains what likely happened behind the sudden airspace closure in Texas, why the DOJ's handling of the Epstein documents signals deep institutional incompetence, and how grand juries and Republican defections are quietly reshaping the political landscape. Elizabeth also addresses the dangerous rise of conspiracy thinking around Epstein—and why it undermines real accountability for survivors.
Plus: troubling news from the FDA on mRNA vaccine innovation, the Fulton County election warrant controversy, and what a potential collapse of the House majority could mean for the balance of power.
