Lemon Nation, welcome to another day in hell. Trump is waging war on the courts over deported Venezuelan migrants, trying to undo presidential pardons like that’s even a thing, and overnight, Israeli strikes escalated yet again. The chaos never stops—but neither do we. Oh, and by the way—it’s our one-year anniversary of The Don Lemon Show! One year ago today, we launched this show, and what a wild ride it’s been. So let’s break down the madness of the day and reflect on a year of calling out the BS. Join us live! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Lemon Nation, Trump isn’t even pretending to play by the rules anymore. In just the past few days, he’s defied a judge’s order on Venezuelan deportations, stood in front of the DOJ calling for his political opponents to be jailed, and posted on Truth Social claiming Biden’s presidential pardons aren’t valid. This isn’t just chaos—it’s straight-up abuse of power. So what happens when a wannabe dictator stops pretending? Let’s break it all down—join us live! Learn more about your ad choices.

Who will take home the title of this week’s Sour Lemon? You decide! Here are the nominees: 🍋 Chuck Schumer – The guy who keeps mistaking ‘compromise’ for ‘giving Republicans everything they want,’ Chuck Schumer. 🍋 Hakeem Jeffries – The guy who talks a big game about standing up to MAGA but still somehow ends up folding like a cheap lawn chair. 🍋 Alina Habba – Trump’s least competent lawyer—and that’s saying something—proving once again that loyalty matters more than skill in MAGA world. 🍋 Gavin Newsom – California’s smooth-talking governor, who thinks sitting down with far-right extremists is a winning strategy. 🍋 Marco Rubio – Florida’s most forgettable senator, now back with more performative outrage and zero accomplishments. 🍋 Wendy Williams’ Guardian – A guardian in name only, making Wendy’s life way harder than it needs to be.

We've all heard of virtue signaling -- when people make a big show – a sometimes cringe-inducing show – of their moral values, their progressivism, their empathy. The right-wing loves to mock it, and MAGA is taking things a step further...with vice signaling. Instead of working to show people how good they are, MAGA decides to show people just how awful they can be. Is this working? Tune in for Don's take! Learn more about your ad choices.
