Tim Miller, Sarah Longwell and JVL debate whether Trump's reaction to the Epstein files, calling it a “hoax” and lashing out at former supporters, marks a turning point. They explore whether this could crack the deep trust his base has in him, especially conspiracy-driven voters who saw him as the one to expose elites. They also argue Democrats should lean into the issue, pushing for hearings and accountability. While Trump's health and appearance come up briefly, the real question is whether this controversy could shake his hold on crank-aligned voters who once saw him as their truth-teller.

RFK Jr.'s Lies Catch Up To Him As Old CNN Clip Goes Viral

RFK, Jr.'s tenure at Health and Human Services is going from bad to worse, as he was busted AGAIN for putting fake studies in his recent MAHA report after he was supposed to remove them. To make matters worse, an old clip of him getting his butt handed to him on CNN has resurfaced and gone viral this week exposing him for being a massive liar. Donald Trump clearly believed that he could swagger back into the Oval Office and immediately start bossing around the rest of the world. The many failures that he has racked up since taking office prove that this isn't going to be the case, and he's actually going to have to use intelligence and diplomacy to solve problems. Unfortunately for him, those are two traits that he does not possess, which means it is going to be a very long 4 years. Farron Cousins explains what's happening. Rather than actually apologizing for her viral clip last week, Republican Senator Joni Ernst doubled down on it over the weekend with a video of herself in a cemetery mocking the people who are worried about the Republican budget bill. This led conservative pollster Sarah Longwell to speculate that Ernst might be suffering a genuine nervous breakdown right now as she continues to deal with the fallout from her flippant comment. Donald Trump is the only one not laughing about the TACO Trump nickname, and that might not be a good thing for American consumers. If Trump believes that we're all mocking him because he always chickens out, then next time he might keep tariffs in place just to teach us all a lesson. In other words, Trump's ego is hurt and he's going to make everyone else suffer because of it - and he's already working on a plan to do exactly that.Text and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!

The DOGE wrecking ball keeps swinging, but the Supreme Court, and even Donald Trump himself, might finally be slowing Elon down. Trump backs off his trade war with Canada and Mexico—without extracting a single concession—as economic indicators begin their predictable slide. Jon and Dan break down the latest on government cuts, why Social Security is in danger, and the Democratic infighting over censuring Rep. Al Green for heckling Trump. Then, The Bulwark's Sarah Longwell joins Jon to discuss how voters are reacting to Trump's big speech—and why the economy remains their top concern.
