-- On the Show:

— Trump talks about suspending habeas corpus, a mayor is arrested for protesting, and much of the country shrugs. We explain how normalization is the point—and how authoritarianism doesn’t need shock, just your resignation.

— From judges being stalked to school boards under threat, we unpack what modern civil war actually looks like—and how the U.S. may already be in one.

— Trump’s team is openly considering prosecuting Democrats.

— Trump’s orange spray tan gets more protection from Republicans than the Constitution. A student asks why he’s orange—and a GOP rep panics.

— We ask the uncomfortable question: what if Trump doesn’t even need to finish his term? We explain how Trump was always the vehicle, not the destination—and why J.D. Vance is the backup plan.

— RFK Jr. casually admits Trump took $100 million from Big Pharma—and Trump nods. Then the pharma stocks go up. But sure, he “can’t be bought.”

— MAGA civil war explodes as Trump names a new Surgeon General who’s too moderate for the fringe. Anti-vaxxers turn on Trump. RFK Jr. branded controlled opposition.

— Rand Paul goes rogue, saying Trump shouldn’t accept Qatar’s $400 million plane, and admitting tariffs hurt Americans. Somewhere, Jesse Watters faints.

— Friday Feedback returns: We respond to questions about the MAGA economy, Trump’s spiral, the illusion of civil discourse, and the future of this show.
