Get ready for another spicy serving of Rivera and Reeves Unfiltered! This month, we're diving deep into The Atlantic's surprisingly revealing profile of Jasmine Crockett – and honey, it's not the glowing puff piece you'd expect. From her Waldorf Astoria tantrums to her phone wallpaper choices (yes, really), we break down why even her Democratic colleagues are running for the hills.
But wait, there's more! We're serving up piping hot takes on the epidemic of performative politics plaguing both parties, complete with Paul Ryan's cringey 2012 workout photos and Cory Booker's latest Spartacus moment on the House floor. Plus, Rachel drops some mafia history knowledge that'll have you googling old Detroit restaurants.
Fair warning: We go completely off the rails talking about 80s movie ratings, puppet films, and why politicians need to stop filming themselves at the gym. It's chaotic, it's unfiltered, and frankly, it's exactly what you signed up for.
