Midweek is here again and the madness did not take a day off. Washington is juggling a shutdown, fighting over ACA subsidies, and playing games with abortion politics, and Mike Johnson is out front promising everything will be fine.

I take you right into what his optimism really feels like when you listen closely.

There is also the long delayed swearing in of Adelita Grijalva and the timing of that delay lines up with a very uncomfortable topic for a lot of powerful people.

The Epstein files are back in the headlines and the political maneuvering around them tells a bigger story than anyone on camera wants to admit.

On the world stage, things are not quiet either. The USS Gerald R Ford is moving. Venezuela is mobilizing troops. And leaders across the globe are watching the United States with the kind of expression you never want to see from your allies.

I talk about why these moves matter and how they fit into the larger pattern of the week.

And then there is Donald Trump and his newest take on grocery prices. A claim so strange and so disconnected from reality that it deserves its own moment.

I get into why he keeps saying it and what it reveals about the political playbook he is still using.

If you want the soft version of these stories, this is not that episode. I walk right through the pressure points, the political theater, and the global tension without sugarcoating a single thing.

The madness is everywhere and I am calling it out.
