As the January 6 Committee continues to unpeel the collusions and braided illegalities of TrumpWorld in the face of insurrection, we want to share this episode from 2018, in which we discuss not only the ways that TrumpWorld behaves like the mob,

Ukraine and War Propaganda
Rebecca and Maya won’t pretend to be in any way qualified to parse the geopolitics of Russian’s horrifying invasion of Ukraine. Instead we break out the booze and break down how the propaganda around this war reveals unresolved Trump trauma, racism,
