Ballot with Patrick Gutfield -from Trump to Taylor Swift

From mass resignations at the CDC to Trump’s bizarre idea of holding national party conventions before the midterms, things in D.C. are getting weird. Patrick Gutfield breaks down RFK Jr.’s attempt to fire CDC Director Susan Monarez, the total reshuffling of the vaccine advisory committee, and why doing things that are illegal and anti-science seem to be this administration’s favorite hobby. Plus: Jen Psaki warns Trump could rig the next election, thanks to the appointment of conspiracy theorist Heather Honey to Homeland Security. And yes, we’re just as concerned about her name as you are.

Trump rage-posts about Seth Meyers at two AM like your weird uncle arguing about traffic lights on Facebook. Former SNL cast member Beck Bennett reveals Elon Musk was somehow worse to work with than Donald Trump - and that's saying something. Plus, Trump's team insists he's "inexhaustible" while photoshopping his swollen ankles out of official White House photos. And the President of the United States personally intervened to save Uncle Herschel from corporate rebranding hell at Cracker Barrel. Because apparently that's what passes for foreign policy these days.

Patrick Gutfield breaks down Trump's surprising blessing of the Swift-Kelce engagement, the administration's catchy new names for detention centers (from "Alligator Alcatraz" to "Cornhusker Clink"), Vanity Fair's staff meltdown over a potential Melania cover, JD Vance's creative take on World War Two history, and America's first case of screwworm - because nothing says "welcome to Twenty Twenty Five" like flesh-eating parasites and government trolling.

Marc Maron took aim at Bill Maher on Pod Save America, calling him “desperate” and accusing him of chasing relevance at any cost. Meanwhile, ICE accidentally turned a routine arrest photo into the internet’s latest thirst trap, Donald Trump threatened to revoke ABC and NBC’s FCC licenses over “fake news,” and RFK Jr. is reportedly plotting a COVID-19 vaccine ban. All that and more with Patrick Gutfield.

Cracker Barrel ditches grandma’s kitchen vibes for a sleek new logo, and the internet unleashes its full fury. Trump reportedly freaked out over clean sheets, locked his own bedroom door against the Secret Service, and possibly hides the Epstein Files under his mattress. MSNBC accuses him of ankle concealment, and the White House hilariously plays along. Meanwhile, a federal judge shuts down Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center… because you can’t build a prison in a swamp and pretend it’s not federal.
