Wickedly Thin, Weirdly Cozy: Trump & Mamdani + MTG Quits

In this Thanksgiving week episode of Citizen McCain, Meghan and Miranda celebrate the season of giving, swap favorite holiday traditions, and talk about real ways to support families in need, from food banks and adopt-a-family programs to paying off layaways. The conversation gets heated as they dig into the viral discourse around Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande's dramatic weight loss during the press tour for 'Wicked,' and what feels like a cultural return to "heroin chic" just as Hollywood and social media glamorize Ozempic.

They also break down Marjorie Taylor Greene's surprise resignation from Congress and the growing civil war inside the GOP, fueled by antisemitism, conspiracy obsession, and the sudden split between MAGA influencers and traditional conservatives. Meghan, Miranda, and guest Christine Rosen react to the shockingly cozy Oval Office meeting between Trump and Zohran Mamdani, now being dubbed a political lovefest, and what it signals for New York, the future of the party, and the pro-Israel fight on the right.

Later, Ryan Manion joins to share how military families navigate grief during the holidays, the mission of the Travis Manion Foundation, and her new children's book, "Things My Brother Used to Say."

Plus: Douche & Darling of the Week, advertisers we're thankful for, and a gravy-kayak goodbye to Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
