LEMON DROP | Melba Moore Says She Would Love to Perform With Beyoncé!

Word is they’re holding a closed-door strategy session later today to figure out how to handle the growing Epstein scandal, which is quickly becoming a political nightmare. When your frontrunner’s name is all over the files... yeah, you might want to workshop a better plan than “distract and deny.” We’ve got the latest on what’s going down behind the scenes. Plus: updates from Texas, where the redistricting battle is heating up and Republicans are pushing even harder to rig the map in their favor. Democrats are fighting back, but will it be enough?

Is Howard Stern next on the media chopping block? Don sits down with Senior Investigations & Exclusives Reporter for The Sun, Jessica Finn, to explore the rumors that SiriusXM may be preparing to cancel The Howard Stern Show as his contract nears its end. In this conversation, they dive into what’s really going on behind the scenes, why Stern’s potential cancellation matters, and whether we’re seeing a larger pattern of media companies silencing or sidelining left-leaning voices. Is this about ratings, or is there something more political at play? Let’s break it down. This episode is brought to you by ZBiotics.

Texas Democrats packed their bags and peaced out to block a GOP-led redistricting vote, and honestly, who can blame them? The proposed map is a textbook case of gerrymandering, designed to rig future elections. But this isn't just about Texas. Other states are now eyeing similar moves, raising the question: where does this end? And more importantly, what can (and should) Democrats be doing to stop this anti-democracy circus? Plus, we’ve now gotten a peek inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan lair, and yes, it’s just as creepy and grotesque as you'd imagine. We’ll break down the latest developments in the Epstein-Trump-Ghislaine triangle of filth, including what new files are revealing and what Trump’s very defensive behavior might be trying to cover up. It’s redistricting, resistance, and rich creeps being exposed, let’s go. This episode is sponsored by Wild Alaskan. Not all fish are the same! Get seafood you can trust.

Texas Democrats have left the building...literally. In a bold move to block the GOP’s latest power grab (aka redistricting), they fled the state. Now, Republicans are throwing a full-blown tantrum and have voted to arrest them for daring to stand in the way. Are Democrats finally growing a spine? It’s looking that way. We’re joined by Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones to break down what’s really going on, what’s at stake, and why this showdown matters far beyond Texas. Oh, and if that’s not dystopian enough for you, Trump and Pam Bondi are now trying to indict Barack Obama. Yes, the former president. WTF?! We’ll break it all down. The authoritarian nonsense is piling up fast, and someone has to call it out. Let’s go. This episode is sponsored by Wild Alaskan. Not all fish are the same! Get seafood you can trust.

We’re starting with some breaking nonsense: Pam Bondi has convened a grand jury to possibly hand down indictments against Barack Obama and members of his administration. Yes, really. This is not The Onion, it’s just Trump World desperately trying to turn up the distraction dial to 100. Meanwhile, Trump himself is cracking under the weight of the Epstein scandal. His name is in the files, the walls are closing in, and his response? Total chaos. He’s firing officials, inventing scandals, and scrambling to change the narrative, anything to keep people from looking at what really matters. And in Texas, things are getting spicy. Democrats are fleeing the state in a bold move to block a GOP power grab through redistricting. It’s all happening, and it’s all absurd. Let’s break it down. This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.

Trump's Epstein Derangement Syndrome is hitting new levels. The latest jobs report came out, and surprise, the numbers didn’t flatter him. So what’s his solution? Fire the top labor official. Because obviously, when reality doesn't match the narrative, you just eliminate the messenger. Classic stable genius move. With the Epstein scandal boiling over and his name plastered all over the files, Trump is desperate for a distraction. He needs a win, and if he can’t get one, he’ll manufacture chaos instead. How far will he go to change the subject? Another press conference meltdown? A wild indictment threat? Invade Canada? Who knows! Brace yourselves. Trump's tantrum era is alive and well.
