America celebrated 250! 250 what? A lot of people don’t know. A MAHA Mom might be getting the death penalty, but not for what you think. And then we get into the somewhat over-the-top reactions to the Supreme Court keeping citizenship the same as it’s always been, and reflections upon birthright after two-and-a-half centuries of rockin’ and rollin’.

This week Mark is regrettably absent, and it just so happens to be America’s 250th birthday week. Coincidence? Yes, yes it is a coincidence. He’s fine and will return next week but in the meantime the one and only Cho joins Trae to opine on the state of things in this husk of an empire.

 The Supreme Court has ruled that because Thomas Jefferson liked to party we can all get high and still have guns. The stupid Reflecting Pool saga has reached a late-stage Stalin level of Soviet farce, with show trials and a total war mobilization to destroy some algae. Then, Trump officials are now saying thoughts about Israel’s government that left-wing protesters got beaten half-to-death for expressing, so things must be going well in the Middle East.

We recap a fun sports weekend in America, which included brawls on the White House lawn and beautiful game shenanigans. Then, we break down all the angles to the screwworm outbreak that will decimate ranchers and turn hamburger into a collectible item. Some greatest generation patriots had originally fixed this in the 60’s by being big fans of watching flies bone. Just another thing we have to get used to: Re-learning how to solve problems we already solved half a century ago.

It would obviously take a conspiracy to make Spencer Pratt, a well-known failure, fail. We get to the bottom of it. Then, Congress has it’s own CIA? And they’re mostly watching your posts about data centers. Before all that we get to Pete Hegseth declaring Mormonism a cult, which has gone over great in Utah.

Nigeria has the rare political scandal that would make a fun Disney movie where a candidate turned out to be a literal child. An immature congressman? Can’t have that. Then, we get into the Texas campaign for the U.S. Senate and the tens of millions of dollars worth of mud about to be slung at James Talarico, which so far amounts to “It’s communist to eat meat veganly” and “He has a girlfriend, but queerly.” Trae has an actual job at an office for one week, so Mark is joined by Drew Morgan this week. Come hang.

Good news, your fourth-grader is now free from the federal tyranny that barred them from mango-flavored vapes. We check in on a few primaries and discuss a gubernatorial’s winning gambit of ‘wearing tall socks,’ and an aspiring congresswoman in Texas who had way to much caffeine then talked about Israel. Then, we discuss our seemingly inevitable military action against Cuba for several pretexts we’re in the middle of making up.

Kash Patel continues living like a ten-year-old who found a winning lottery ticket. Trump’s supporters debate the strict meaning of “worship” with regards to the golden statue of him they built to take pilgrimages to. Then, we get into Mr. Wonderful’s planet-eating Death Star of a data center project in Utah, the fight against it, and his ability to sniff out all the Chinese A.I. saboteurs who’ve, uh, lived in Box Elder County, Utah, their whole lives.

The government (barely) disclosed (very little) stuff about aliens and you’ll never guess, no one is satisfied. The root cause of all of this does seem to be a government disinformation campaign that no one seems to remember why they did it for. It’s pretty funny. Then, we talk about the practical death of the Voting Rights Act and the mad rush all over the South to gerrymander every state into a sloppy segregationist mess.

The War in Iran has hit a new phase with dolphin troops. Dolphin troops? Support the dolphin troops. Primary season’s in full swing, so let’s talk about Graham Platner becoming the Democratic nominee for Senate in Maine, the Reddit post controversies, and the shaken state of Dem moderates. Also,   Because the definition feels very specific, and not what you might think.
