It's Monday, and we've got two great guests lined up. But first, we watch Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) recount his gut-wrenching visit to what he calls the "Alligator Auschwitz." Then we're joined by Wesley Cheek, assistant professor at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, to discuss the deep-rooted corruption and dysfunction within FEMA. Later, Chris Geidner of Law Dork returns to break down the latest Supreme Court rulings—and the nine-mile stare worn by everyone seriously covering this administration. In the Fun Half We kick things off with possibly the least fun person alive, Tom Homan, as he backpedals on what qualifies as "reasonable suspicion. In Hakeem Jeffries' interview with Punchbowl News, he appears to spread the false claim that Zohran Mamdani called to "Globalize the Intifada." We revisit the Bulwark episode where the smear originated—and confirm Mamdani never said any such thing. Also, so what if he did? All that, plus your IMs and a whole lot more.

A 360 degree look at Meta's AI efforts after Ben's sitdown with Mark Zuckerberg and Meta's launch of a standalone AI app. Then: Reactions to Wednesday's holding that Apple violated a court order and may be criminally liable for its behavior, responses to an email about a broadened understanding of consumer welfare, and a Punchbowl News headache for Amazon.
After a false report and a political firestorm, Amazon found itself in the crosshairs of the Trump White House over tariffs. The e-commerce giant issued a statement denying that it planned to list import tariffs next to product prices after Punchbowl News had reported Amazon would show how much of each item's cost stems from Trump's tariffs. The report triggered a full-on political tantrum. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the move “hostile,” accusing Amazon of working with Chinese propaganda. President Trump reportedly called Jeff Bezos directly—flipping from fury to flattery. By afternoon, Trump was praising Bezos: “He solved a problem very quickly. He's a good guy,” he said. The bigger issue remains tariffs. Economists warn that Trump's trade wars are contributing to inflation. Retailers such as Temu and Shein are already raising prices and citing increased import costs.

On this special episode of the GeekWire Podcast, we break down a public clash between Amazon and the White House over tariffs, transparency, and politics. After a report from Punchbowl News suggested Amazon would start displaying the cost of President Trump’s tariffs on product prices, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called it a “hostile and political act” during a press briefing — saying she had just spoken to the president about it. Amazon responded by clarifying that the idea had come from a small team behind its Amazon Haul discount storefront but was never approved and “not going to happen.” Meanwhile, CNN reported that Trump personally called Jeff Bezos to complain.
