Description


Pags kicks things off with a Truth Alert as Karoline Leavitt announces she's stepping down as White House Press Secretary to focus on being a full-time mom. Then Pags breaks down four major takeaways from primary night, including David Crowley's victory over democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin and Michele Tafoya's big win.

Pags has one question after the arrests: What happens to everyone who exploited the scheme now?
