We’re back! This week, Mallory Hagan and Maggie Gehlsen-Burnett talk about Donald Trump’s disappearance, his *obvious* health issues, the ongoing concern of gun violence and school safety, implications of recent abortion laws, and the media's portrayal of political figures. They delve into the future of the MAGA movement with JD Vance, the influence of Peter Thiel in politics, and concerns surrounding surveillance and data privacy. The conversation also touches on the strategies of Democratic influencers in the media landscape. It’s a doozy!
