Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey discuss the Trump administration’s latest boundary-pushing moves, from renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America” to the “Big Beautiful Ballroom,” and ask a bigger question: who actually steps in when the government goes too far? Plus, MapQuest unexpectedly becomes the lone holdout. Later, George Santos gets banned from Kalshi for betting on his own behavior, prompting a conversation about prediction markets, insider trading, and whether easy access to gambling is helping kill the appeal of Las Vegas.
