The State of the Epstein Files

Forget the State of the Union. If you want the real condition of American power, look at the Epstein files. Half released. Half withheld.Everyone implicated. No one accountable. We discuss the lack of arrests in the U.S., as well as recent reporting from NPR identifying more than 50 pages of FBI interview records missing from the public release — including material tied to a woman who has alleged that Trump assaulted her when she was a minor. We also get into the Olympics men's hockey locker room debacle (you know we don't mean the woman) — and what it reveals about how casually misogyny moves through spaces of power. Women dominated the Olympics this year, winning the majority of U.S. gold medals and overall medals. Although, I wouldn't know how the men did. I only watch women's sports. We close by talking about youth political engagement — and whether protest could helpcure isolation. National pride is a spectacle.Accountability is a threat. This is our State of the Union.
