Happy Pride, Happy Graduation, and Happy 50th Anniversary to Mary Lou and Bob!

This week we cover:

🌮 The Taco Tariff Trades
Trump's tariff flip-flops hit the spotlight when CNBC's Megan Cassella asked him about “Taco Trade” – short for “Trump Always Chickens Out.” His furious response? “That’s the nastiest question.” We break down the impact on markets and global credibility.

👁️ Elon’s Black Eye
Why did Elon Musk show up bruised before resigning from DOGE? Drug rumors, a rumored brawl with the Treasury Secretary, and a $2 trillion promise that fell $1.84 trillion short. We ask: Should someone tripping on ketamine have access to your financial and medical records?

🎟️ Pardon Moi
Trump fires Pardon Attorney Elizabeth Oyer and installs loyalist Ed Martin. With over 1,600 pardons—including reality TV fraudsters, corrupt sheriffs, and tax cheats—we follow the money straight to a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser. Is it justice or just business?

🔥 The End of the Bromance
Trump turns on Putin: “He has gone absolutely CRAZY!” With WWIII on the table, we explore why Trump is shifting his stance—and whether this is a real break or more bluster.

🎓 Harvard Under Fire
Trump tries to revoke Harvard’s ability to enroll international students. DHS claims national security concerns; Harvard fights back in federal court—and wins a temporary reprieve. Is this about safety or silencing higher ed?

🏃‍♀️ AB Hernandez & Trans Athletes in Sports
After a 16-year-old trans girl dominates in high school track, Trump lashes out and threatens California’s funding. We examine the CIF’s new podium policy, Trump’s executive orders, and what the law really says.

🎬 SIMMER DOWN
 And we have fun with some movie quotes.

🧠 Engage in the comments:

  • Should Trump be able to revoke Harvard’s federal funding?
  • Was the “Taco Trade” question out of bounds?
  • What do you think gave Elon the black eye?

👇 Subscribe for weekly deep dives into America’s political theater from a family who really doesn’t hold back.
