They dish about Trump’s guilty verdict, Republican buffoonery, and the latest abortion news ahead of the 2-year anniversary of Roe being overturned. Then, Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan discusses working for the CIA, Congresspeople who aren’t “in it for the right reasons,” and her 2024 Senate race. Finally, Sani-Petty (what is Pride Month without Dolly Parton?).
