Midnight Meltdowns & Gala Grotesqueries

About this episode

Stephanie Miller dissects the latest antics of the Trump administration while addressing serious issues like media accountability and leadership fitness.

If the news feels like a fever dream with a dress code, you’re in the right place. Stephanie Miller dissects the latest Trump administration antics, ranging from late-night social media rants to a gala dinner that promises more cringe than class. She also takes a hard look at the "new normal" for the American press—specifically why the Wall Street Journal is handing out awards for questionable stationery instead of holding power to account. Between the laughs, she tackles the heavy stuff: the mental fitness of our leaders, the looming shadow of conflict in Iran, and what all this "top-tier" leadership actually means for your wallet and your peace of mind.
