About this episode

Stephanie Miller discusses the absurdities of current political events, including social media diplomacy and the implications of recent Supreme Court decisions.

What happens when the leader of the free world decides the best place for diplomacy is a late-night, ALL-CAPS social media spiral? Stephanie Miller breaks down the White House’s new "press-first, logic-later" strategy and finding the dark humor in the high-stakes chaos. She also wades into the absolute absurdity of James Comey’s "seashell indictment"—a legal saga so bizarre it makes the last decade of politics look like a calm day at the beach. She then pulls back the curtain on the Supreme Court’s recent hits to the Voting Rights Act and discusses why expanding the bench isn't just a progressive pipe dream anymore—it’s a survival tactic for racial equality and a necessary check on a MAGA majority that has clearly traded their robes for jerseys.
