TARABUSTER with Tara Devlin

Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin.

10/02/26

🕵️ Trump’s DOJ tries to rehabilitate Richard Nixon: More than 50 years after Watergate exposed Nixon’s criminal cover-up, Trump’s Justice Department is entertaining claims that Nixon and his henchmen were somehow the victims. We break down Watergate step by step—and why MAGA calls every form of accountability “the deep state.”

🚀 Hegseth’s Pentagon brings in Musk, Newt Gingrich, and defense-tech insiders: Pete Hegseth has tapped Elon Musk, Palmer Luckey, and Newt Gingrich to help steer a Pentagon “future of warfare” initiative. Because naturally, when the country needs sober, accountable national-defense planning, MAGA reaches for a billionaire contractor, a defense-tech CEO, and Newt Gingrich.

🏛️ A judge stops Trump’s DOJ from reviving the Reflecting Pool case: A D.C. judge dismissed the case against former Olympian David Hearn with prejudice after prosecutors conceded evidence showed the alleged damage came from a botched contractor installation—not vandalism. It is a reminder that the Justice Department belongs to the American people, not to a president looking for innocent people to punish.

💥 Don’t miss Tara’s signature mix of righteous outrage, humor, and hard truth as she tears apart another example of right-wing cosplay patriotism — and reminds us what real service, sacrifice, and love of country actually look like.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Oct 01, 2026

🎙️ LEE PAPA / THE RUDE PUNDIT — The legendary political satirist, writer, and unapologetic liberal truth-teller joins Tarabuster to take on Trump’s retribution machine, Jeanine Pirro’s DOJ embarrassment, Pete Hegseth’s MAGA bully culture, and the authoritarian cruelty Republicans are trying to normalize.

🚨 Trump’s DOJ Humiliated in Court: A D.C. judge dismissed the Reflecting Pool case with prejudice and barred Jeanine Pirro’s office from bringing it again—a remarkable rebuke after Trump publicly pressured prosecutors to pursue charges. We’ll discuss what happens when the Justice Department is expected to manufacture cases to satisfy a president’s personal vendettas.

🎖️ Hegseth’s Politics of Humiliation: Pete Hegseth’s military agenda is increasingly built around bullying—body policing, anti-trans persecution, and a MAGA definition of masculinity enforced through exclusion and humiliation. We’ll break down why this has nothing to do with readiness and everything to do with authoritarian control.

🇺🇸 From Washington and Lincoln to FDR, LBJ, and Reagan, Lichtman breaks down how power, crisis, character, and lasting consequences—not media hype or partisan mythology—determine which presidents truly transformed the country.

Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin.

09/25/26

📺 Trump’s “Love Me” ad: The White House is airing a taxpayer-funded, campaign-style ad glorifying Donald Trump ahead of the midterms—because apparently your tax dollars now have to pay for the Dear Leader’s emotional-support montage.

🗳️ SCOTUS and the Big Lie database: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for Trump’s administration to use Social Security data in a citizenship-verification system that could wrongly burden lawful voters—all in service of the same evidence-free voter-fraud hysteria that fueled January 6.

🏳️‍⚧️ The GOP’s anti-trans panic machine: Republicans are recycling their oldest electoral scam: invent a terrifying threat, target a vulnerable minority, and distract voters from the fact that they have no plan to make life more affordable, safe, or free.

And more!

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 22, 2026

🎙️ Brad Bannon joins Tarabuster: Deadline DC’s Brad Bannon joins Tara to break down Trump’s escalating war on the free press, the White House’s propaganda push, and the authoritarian rot Republicans are trying to normalize.

🗞️ Trump’s war on the free press: Trump is escalating his authoritarian assault on independent journalism—calling critical reporting a “national security” threat, banning outlets from the White House, and demanding a press corps that behaves like a state propaganda department.

📺 Trump TV: propaganda on the public dime: After banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House, Trump rolls out a 24/7 “Trump TV” stream—because a wannabe autocrat cannot survive without his own government-backed reality show.

🏛️ Trump’s militarized vanity arch: Trump’s proposed 250-foot triumphal arch is no longer just an obscene monument to his ego—it is now supposedly a “military complex” for drones, snipers, and ammunition. Fascist architecture meets the world’s dumbest action movie.

⚖️ Lauren Boebert’s ethics mess: Rep. Lauren Boebert is facing a sworn ethics complaint alleging inappropriate relationships with staff and a $200,000 payment; she denies the allegations. The party of “family values” somehow keeps becoming the party of scandal, excuses, and victimhood.

🏈 Nancy Mace’s manufactured outrage: Nancy Mace posts a deliberately provocative “Go COCKS” football-game photo, then acts persecuted when it goes viral—because Republicans love trolling America almost as much as they love pretending they are victims of the reaction.

Tarabuster Friday with Tara Devlin.

09/18/26

📰 Trump tries to ban the free press: Trump says he is barring CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House for reporting coverage he calls “fake news,” escalating his effort to turn public access into a loyalty test.

🌍 Trump’s ecological-collapse executive order: By gutting the coordinated Chesapeake Bay restoration effort while his EPA wipes out limits on fossil-fuel pollution, Trump is treating clean water, public health, and a livable planet as expendable collateral damage for corporate polluters.

🎙️ Joe Rogan discovers MAGA is a cult: After years of helping normalize Trump-world, Rogan called Trump supporters “fucking nuts” and “rabid”—then insisted he has been left-wing his whole life.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 17, 2026

🥴 JD Vance begs America to “give us another chance”: After months of MAGA chaos, broken promises, and nonstop scapegoating, Vance’s plea sounds less like confidence and more like an admission that voters see the damage. And no—Biden did not leave America a “disaster,” no matter how many times Republicans repeat the lie.

🎭 Trump vs. the Kennedy Center: Rep. Joyce Beatty reportedly confronted Trump during a tense Kennedy Center board meeting, telling him he is “holding up the whole country.” Now Trump is tying repairs and the future of a national cultural institution to his personal demand to plaster his own name on it.

🏗️ Trump’s Kennedy Center hostage scheme: The Kennedy Center needs repairs—but Trump appears determined to turn a public memorial into another monument to his ego. A court blocked the board from adding Trump’s name without Congress, and suddenly the building’s renovation and even its future are being treated like bargaining chips.

🍝 Ron Placone at Edinburgh Fringe: Ron joins us to talk about Anti-Fascist Pasta Night, his Edinburgh Fringe stand-up show about politics, culture, travel, relationships, and surviving the insanity of the moment without completely losing it. The title draws from real anti-fascist pasta-night traditions in post-Mussolini Italy—because, yes, pasta is antifascist.

🗽 Antifascism is patriotism: Tara and Ron break down why defending democracy requires us to reject authoritarianism, oligarchic corruption, white-nationalist symbolism, and a politics that treats cruelty and hierarchy as “family values.”

🗽 MAGA’s 9/11 smear campaign: Right-wing outlets and online MAGA accounts pushed a false claim that AOC and Zohran Mamdani were laughing during the Ground Zero commemoration—until a lifelong Republican eyewitness, Michael Ragusa, publicly called the lie out.

⛽ Diesel pain meets MAGA denial: A Trump-supporting trucking-business owner says fuel prices are making it impossible to operate and begs Trump to bring costs down—while remaining loyal to the political movement that substitutes slogans for an actual economic plan.

🗳️ “Cheat like hell” at the GOP convention: Trump led Republican convention attendees in a bizarre pledge that included voting “any way” and trying to “cheat like hell,” exposing once again how casually MAGA treats democratic rules.

🤖 Ken Paxton’s AI fake-out: Texas Republican Ken Paxton’s campaign released an AI-generated attack ad that puts a fabricated monologue in Democrat James Talarico’s mouth, turning political debate into a deepfake disinformation operation.

✉️ Ballot access by microscopic technicality: USPS initially rejected Leon County, Florida’s mail-ballot envelope design because text was just 0.014 inches too close together—a warning of how arbitrary rules can be weaponized to create voting chaos.

Buckle up. It's a lot. As usual.

Tarabuster Tuesdays with Tara Devlin. Sept 8, 2026

🏒 Trump’s AI-Slop Canada Humiliation: Trump posts a childish hockey cartoon attacking Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney while escalating a trade conflict with one of America’s closest allies—because bullying democratic partners is apparently MAGA foreign policy.

🎪 Comer’s “Village Idiots” Town Hall: Kentucky Rep. James Comer says he has no interest in holding a real town hall with “village idiots”—while his state faces persistent poverty, health-care gaps, dirty air, and a representative more devoted to conspiracy spectacles than constituent accountability.

👊 MAGA’s Answer to Criticism: Violence: JD Vance’s mother says she would “probably punch” Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed for criticizing Vance’s politics—proving again that when MAGA cannot defend the record, it invents an “attack” and reaches for intimidation.

🏙️ Trump’s New 9/11 Tall Tale: Trump is again placing himself at the center of 9/11 with an uncorroborated story about firefighters lifting him to safety—turning a day of national grief and real heroism into another Trump self-aggrandizement routine.

🏛️ Trump Above Lincoln? Give Us a Break: MAGA social media is pushing the fantasy that Trump belongs among America’s greatest presidents, despite Trump literally ranking himself above Lincoln and Washington—and despite expert presidential surveys putting him at the bottom.
