Scott-Free August continues with none other than MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow! Kara and Rachel talk about the origins of “America First,” Trump’s ongoing D.C. takeover, and The White House’s review of Smithsonian museum exhibitions. Plus, President Trump and Vladimir Putin meet in Alaska, and SCOTUS is asked to overturn marriage equality. Then, what are The Ladies of the Right beefing about?
Rachel’s podcast, “Ultra” won a 2025 Edward R. Murrow Award! Listen to it here.
