White is the new Black. . . People.
from Frangela: The Final Word · host Frangela Duo
is week feels like it was organized by a committee of sleep‑deprived raccoons.Senate Republicans have now blocked a resolution to stop Krump’s escalating conflict with Iran for the seventh time — because apparently the eighth time is when democracy magically kicks in. Meanwhile, the Senate has confirmed Kevin Warsh, a man widely described as a probable sock puppet, to run the Federal Reserve. Yes, the institution that controls interest rates may now be chaired by someone who lives with Trump's hand in his vestibule.Vice President J.D. Vance announced that $1.3 billion in federal Medicaid reimbursements will be withheld from California, because nothing says “public service” like yanking healthcare funding from the people who need it most.Over at Homeland Security, the inspector general has launched an investigation into ICE’s $38 billion warehouse‑to‑detention pipeline, a program started under former DHS Secretary Kisti Noem, who apparently thought “industrial‑scale incarceration” was a fun arts‑and‑crafts project.And in a move that would make even the most shameless ethics lawyer weep into their coffee, Trump’s Justice Department is “discussing” whether to settle Trump’s own $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS — an agency he oversees. Because why just blur the lines when you can set them on fire and dance on the ashes.Republican lawmakers in South Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia continue their coordinated push to disenfranchise Black voters, proving once again that voter suppression is the one tradition they refuse to retire.Finally, during a late‑night Truth Social posting spree, Trump labeled former President Obama a “traitor,” a “demonic force,” and part of a coup — accusations that appear to be based on absolutely nothing except the fumes of his own insomnia.All that, plus the usual laughs, side‑eyes, and righteous rants.
