Episode Details

This week, Travis and Seena eviscerate Trump’s claims about his “highly successful’ trip to China, going line-by-line through the White House’s “fact sheet” to get to the bottom of what, if anything, was actually accomplished. They also check in on Ukraine and Russia, pour some out for the UK’s Labour party, and look forward to the upcoming cage match between Marco Rubio and JD Vance. Get ready to rumble, folks!
