Is MAGA Unraveling? The cracks are showing, and they’re getting wider. Trump’s approval rating is tanking, voters are turning on the GOP, and even some of his most loyal supporters are starting to ask the hard questions. After inhumane ICE raids, skyrocketing prices, and threats of gutting healthcare even further, it’s no wonder people are fed up. Tuesday’s elections made it crystal clear: America is rejecting MAGA’s chaos. Tonight, Don is joined by Attorney and Advocate Robert Held -  @robertheld7728 - and our very own Lemon Legends to break down the results, the reactions, and whether this is the beginning of the end for Trump’s movement or just another meltdown in progress. 🍋 This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Election Day delivered a serious beatdown, and guess who’s not handling it well? Yep, MAGA is having a meltdown. 😬 After getting steamrolled at the polls, Trump’s loyalists are doing what they do best, blaming everyone else. From crying “fraud” (again) to throwing full-blown tantrums on social media, it’s been a masterclass in denial. Even Trump’s inner circle is reportedly pointing fingers over the shutdown, the messaging, and, well… the vibes. This morning, Don breaks down the MAGA meltdown of the century, the excuses, the chaos, and the existential crisis hitting the far right. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

This morning, New York woke up changed. In a city that rarely rewards idealists, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, the 34-year-old son of Uganda and India, a proud democratic socialist, just made history as the new Mayor of New York City. His victory wasn’t bought by billionaires or party bosses. It was built by people, renters, workers, believers in something better. Don reflects on the magnitude of this moment, what it means for a city that has broken dreamers before, and whether this time, just maybe, hope can survive the system that swallows it. Because this win is more than symbolic. It’s a test of whether empathy, justice, and courage can still lead in America. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
