Adrienne, Julie, and Gina return from the hiatus to lament all of the developments from the past two weeks, such as Jubilee platforming fascists during Mehdi Hasan’s appearance on “Surrounded”, Hunter Biden’s interesting interview, the continued relevance of the Epstein files, a scandalous Coldplay concert, and George Santos on Tucker Carlson. In Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow are outraising Haley Stevens (while she is accepting corporate PAC money) and Matt Maddock says that government shouldn’t do anything at all.
