Jon Stewart made a special appearance hosting Thursday’s “Daily Show” to address the situation.

Trump claims to have “solved” anywhere between 6 and 10 wars around the world (depending on which day you ask him) – a claim that doesn’t hold water. Ana Marie Cox tells Ali Velshi that Trump’s boastful claims about his diplomacy compensate for the fact that he’s a terrible negotiator. In both domestic and foreign policy, Trump “doesn't see these things in terms of negotiations with a compromise, but as deals with a winner and a loser,” says Cox.

What do Fed Chair Jerome Powell, former President Barack Obama, the Washington Commanders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Coca-Cola, and a woman catching a snake all have in common? Absolutely nothing– except that none of them are convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. We break down how Donald Trump is once again using chaos, distractions, and disinformation to dodge the scandal engulfing his administration.

Amid the fallout from the Epstein scandal, Trump is reaching deep for anything that might distract away from his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—including threatening a football team, touring the Fed, releasing MLK files, even tweeting a bizarre clip of a woman catching a snake. But this time, none of it seems to be working and his base is still demanding one thing, and one thing only: the release of the Epstein files. More importantly, says Ana Marie Cox of The New Republic, Trump is losing more than just his base—the scandal is reminding all Americans of “the moral stakes.” Even his photo-op at the Federal Reserve building—another attempted distraction from the scandal engulfing his administration—backfired big time as Fed Chair Jerome Powell fact-checked Trump’s false claims in real time. As former Congressman Joe Walsh puts it, Powell showed “every damn American how you deal with a bully.”

But that doesn’t mean Trump’s scandal will have the same ending as Nixon’s.

This past week, President Trump unveiled a new migrant detention center in the Florida swamplands he calls “Alligator Alcatraz.” In the facility, hastily constructed in mere days, the administration plans to hold about 3,000 undocumented migrants. The area’s harsh conditions are a feature, not a bug. Trump and his allies have joked about migrants being eaten by alligators from the nearby swamps. The far-right provocateur and Trump ally Laura Loomer made a reference to the alligators consuming 65 million people, a number that’s also the total Hispanic population of the U.S. And, of course, the Florida GOP is also selling merch. Welcome to the new American dystopia. Where alligators are cops. And humans are treated like animals.

Nearly every advanced nation on the planet offers affordable universal health care to its citizens with one huge and notable exception: the United States of America. Over the past 60 years, the U.S. has been making progress towards providing health insurance for all of its citizens, with programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. But Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes the largest healthcare cuts in history – a giant step backwards for America that will lead to millions of more people becoming uninsured in exchange for extending tax cuts that will largely benefit the rich.

President Trump said he did not realize that the term “Shylock” was viewed as antisemitic.

He savaged Bush for distorting intelligence and overselling the military’s initial success in Iraq. Now Trump and his team are doing the same in Iran.

76% of Americans think that democracy is under a serious threat, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. And their faith in political leadership in the White House and Congress is low.

Your citizenship won’t save you any more than Congress, or the laws, or the courts do.

The “big, beautiful bill” is a hot mess.
