Hey folks,

Well, this one went off the rails fast—in the best way.

I was joined by Neera Tanden to unpack the DOJ’s Epstein file dump and the bizarre testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell, which dropped late on a Friday like a scene from a political thriller. What started as a planned conversation about crime pivoted hard into the GOP’s calculated misinformation campaign, the fractures in MAGA, and why the Epstein won’t go away for Trump. This is essential viewing—don’t miss it.

⏱️ Timestamps:

• 04:45 — Neera reacts to the DOJ's sudden release of the Maxwell transcript—and why her post-testimony prison downgrade raised major red flags.

• 13:02 — We trace the tangled web from Epstein to Trump, including Acosta’s sweetheart deal and how the right built an alternate reality around obvious truths.

• 21:05 — A must-hear breakdown of why the "Maxwell exonerates Trump" talking point is not only dishonest but dangerous.

• 27:00 — What the Epstein scandal reveals about Trump’s betrayal of working-class voters—and why it's fracturing his base right now.

• 35:45 — We finally tackle crime in D.C., and I explain why I urged Democrats to stop defending statistics and start calling out authoritarian overreach.
