    Was Trump Attack Staged?, SCOTUS Guts Voting Rights Act, Trump Plans Cuba Invasion
    May 3 2026
    Look Forward breaks down the third apparent Trump assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner—and why conspiracy theories immediately flooded social media questioning if it was staged. Cole Tomas Allen stormed the Washington Hilton with guns and knives, but his defense argues the DOJ case is "built entirely upon speculation." Trump is using the incident to push his controversial White House ballroom project while blaming Jimmy Kimmel for "inciting violence."

    The Supreme Court chips away at the Voting Rights Act AGAIN in Louisiana v. Callais, green-lighting extreme gerrymandering. AOC calls for blue states to fight back harder. Louisiana's governor suspends an active election to allow GOP gerrymandering, and Alabama rushes to redistrict. Federal courts ban mailing abortion pills in certain states. Trump announces plans to "take over" Cuba before finishing his Iran war. Janet Mills drops out of Maine's Senate race, giving Democrat Graham Platner a clear path to take on Susan Collins in the general election.

    Trump's inflation polling now worse than Jimmy Carter's historic lows. Trump demands ABC fire comedian Jimmy Kimmel because he made a joke, and FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens Disney's broadcast licenses. James Comey gets indicted over an Instagram seashell photo that allegedly threatened Trump's life. And Trump resurfaces the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in tacky blue. We cover the WHCD chaos, voting rights collapse, and the week's corruption circus.

    Virginia Takes On Gerrymander, Republicans Float Ghislaine Maxwell Pardon, Trump's Polling Craters
    Apr 24 2026
    Look Forward breaks down Virginia voters' narrow victory approving a Democratic redistricting map despite a Republican judge's attempts to block it, which is a major counter to Trump's national GOP gerrymandering push for more House seats. House Oversight Committee Republicans are reportedly split on pardoning convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell in exchange for Epstein testimony, with Chairman James Comer admitting "a lot of people" support the deal. Donald Trump's approval ratings are cratering fast, hitting historic lows as his Iran war drags on, and the American economy gets worse because of it.

    Another Trump cabinet member is out, this time Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer becomes the latest woman forced from his administration. Navy Secretary John Phelan resigns after butting heads with Pete Hegseth over military policy. California's Attorney General lays out evidence of Amazon's alleged price-fixing scheme. The Onion completes its satirical hostile takeover of Alex Jones' Infowars empire. The federal government charges the Southern Poverty Law Center with fraud over paid informants. The FBI investigates a New York Times reporter after her story about Kash Patel's girlfriend. Prominent MAGA influencer "Emily Hart" is unmasked as a male medical student from India catfishing the entire rightwing movement.

    We cover the redistricting war, Maxwell pardon push, Trump's collapsing support, and the week's corruption circus.

    Trump's Jesus Image and War with Pope, Victor Orban's Loss, JD Vance's Likely Future
    Apr 20 2026
    Look Forward breaks down the week Trump posted an AI image of himself as Jesus then claimed "I'm a doctor, and the news is fake," escalated his unprecedented feud with Pope Leo XIV by calling him "WEAK on Crime," and slashed Catholic Charities funding in apparent retaliation. Plus: Viktor Orban loses Hungary's election despite JD Vance flying to Budapest to campaign for him days before the vote, while Trump secretly conducts performance reviews of his VP and shops for 2028 replacements.

    Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reads a prayer at a Pentagon worship service that turns out to be the fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to justify the Iran war. FBI Director Kash Patel faces explosive allegations of excessive drinking and unexplained absences, prompting a $250 million defamation lawsuit. A new whistleblower book reveals DOGE officials thought USAID "just did abortions" before gutting the 10,000-person agency. Trump promises preemptive mass pardons for his staff, FIFA asks him not to arrest World Cup attendees, and Trump blockades the Strait of Hormuz to force Iran to stop blocking it.

    We cover Trump's Pope war, Orban's collapse, Hegseth's Tarantino theology, DOGE's stunning incompetence, and the week's accelerating corruption and chaos.
