Apropos Of Nothing (feat. John Fugelsang)

Friday, April 10th, 2026

Today, Melania Trump holds a bizarre press conference denying ties to Epstein and Maxwell; House Republicans block Democrats’ War Powers Resolution; dissension in the ranks as US military members contradict Hegseth about the deadly attack in Kuwait; the Pentagon threatened the Pope and the Vatican causing the cancellation of a papal visit to the US in 2026; the White House is using foreign steel to build Trump’s ballroom; Victor Orban told Putin in a leaked call that he would help Russia win the war against Ukraine; Melania Trump has been given the keys to Noem and Lewandowski’s fuckjet; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
