The Tara Palmeri Show

What just happened to American politics in the last 72 hours? On this wild episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara sits down with legendary satirist Andy Borowitz (The Borowitz Report) to unpack the absolute circus: Marjorie Taylor Greene abruptly resigning from Congress facing a Trump-backed primary challenge, Trump and progressive firebrand Zohran Mamdani bizarrely hitting it off in the Oval Office like old friends, the GOP majority getting razor-thin, discharge petitions coming back in a big way, the crumbling economy fueling every rebellion, and why Trump’s coalition is fracturing faster than anyone predicted. They also dive into who might fill the MAGA chaos queen void (Anna Paulina Luna, anyone?), Trump’s phantom “peace” deals, DOGE already imploding, and whether we’re all just living in a very expensive simulation. Who should be the next unhinged star of the GOP clown car now that MTG is heading home?

What happens to the Epstein files now that Trump’s DOJ has full control? On this riveting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins forces with Cameron Stevenson (The Epsteiner Substack) for a no-holds-barred breakdown of Congress finally voting to release the Jeffrey Epstein court documents, what the next 30 days actually look like under Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, why a special counsel is never happening, how bipartisan subpoenas and the Epstein estate releases could expose DOJ redactions, and the jaw-dropping 2003 bid by Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein, and Michael Wolff to buy New York Magazine. They also imagine a world where that deal went through: would MeToo ever have happened, would Epstein still be alive, and why some of the loudest anti-Trump voices in media were once financially entangled with a convicted sex offender? How much of Trump’s name do you think will still be in the files once Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are done with them?

From Stacey Plaskett texting Epstein during hearings to the possibility of new investigations being used as cover for redactions, Tara pulls no punches on why trust in the process is at rock bottom and what victims deserve after years of obstruction.

U.S. Congressman Robert Garcia, a leading voice in the push for transparency around the Epstein files, discusses the pressing challenges faced by survivors. He reveals that many are still living in fear of retaliation and threats, making them hesitant to name their abusers. Garcia also highlights the urgency of releasing documents tied to the Epstein case, emphasizing the need for accountability. The conversation delves into potential political motivations behind delays, urging greater vigilance to protect the victims' voices and ensure justice.

Who is the DOJ frantically protecting with those black-bar redactions right now? On this urgent episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, investigative journalist Tara Palmeri joins CNN’s Erin Burnett hours after the historic 427-1 House vote to demand full Epstein file transparency, warning that the celebration could be short-lived as the DOJ—already caught redacting Trump’s name from FOIA releases since summer—prepares to slow-walk or black-bar the 300+GB trove. Tara exposes how hundreds of officials have spent months scrubbing documents, details the hidden videos and photos seized from Epstein’s properties that survivors say recorded everything, and reveals why Epstein may have been protected as a valuable FBI informant on cases like the Bear Stearns and Financial Towers scandals—comparing him to a “Whitey Bulger-type” asset whose usefulness could still shield billionaires, royals, and power brokers from exposure. Which name still hiding behind those black redactions would finally force real accountability?

What unbreakable bonds between power brokers and predators are finally forcing a reckoning in Washington? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, investigative journalist Tara Palmeri joins MSNBC's Chris Hayes to unpack the stunning congressional push for Epstein file transparency, from Trump's campaign-trail waffling on declassification to the bipartisan 430-1 House vote landing on his desk amid survivor vigils and mounting Republican defections. The discussion dives into the DOJ's early redactions scrubbing Trump's name from documents, Pam Bondi's role as a direct Trump apparatchik poised to stonewall releases, and the international intrigue tying Epstein to figures like Mohammed bin Salman, Ehud Barak, and Prince Andrew. Attorney Eric Fudd, representing 11 Epstein victims, shares cautious optimism from the candlelight vigil breakthrough while warning of demoralizing delays and the fight ahead for unredacted accountability, including unseen files on the Alex Acosta plea deal and Epstein's value as an intelligence asset in cases like the $300 million Financial Towers Ponzi scheme.
