Holy moly, friends – buckle up because this episode is PACKED. While Rachel's running on fumes (thanks to a 4:30 AM baby wake-up call), we're diving deep into the chaos that was this past weekend. We're breaking down the Minnesota assassination attempt that the media somehow can't seem to get straight, the bizarre "No Kings" protests that looked more like sad parties, and Trump's Army parade that had everyone clutching their pearls for absolutely no reason. Plus, we're calling out the immigration policy flip-flopping that's got everyone's heads spinning. Spoiler alert: the media is trash (shocking, we know), and we have zero tolerance for their nonsense. Grab your coffee and let's get into it!
