Robbie breaks down the charges and why the indictments aren't meant to actually bring anybody to justice but are instead meant to paint a 'visual narrative' for public consumption (a phrase used by Yasha Levine). They also discuss headlines like Elon Musk donating to the GOP and Ocasio-Cortez’s Palestine controversy. Later Trump's performance at the Helsinki summit and the hysterical media reaction is discussed in detail. Thanks for listening!
