Jessica Tarlov and Aaron Parnas break down a packed Wednesday, starting with Todd Blanche’s Senate confirmation hearing for Attorney General, where the Epstein files took center stage and two Republicans remain undecided. With Lindsey Graham’s seat now vacant, the math on the panel has shifted, and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky is set to testify Thursday.
ICE announced it will pause most vehicle stops after two fatal shootings in one week, then Trump immediately contradicted the agency, calling traffic stops one of its most effective tools.
The U.S. naval blockade of Iran has resumed, with Trump walking back his 20% Strait of Hormuz fee after significant backlash. The path out of this conflict remains completely unclear.
Marco Rubio is effectively running Venezuela and is reportedly looking to “dismantle” the international criminal court. Plus, Supreme Court Justices Amy Coney Barrett and Elena Kagan testified before a House Appropriations subcommittee today about the Supreme Court’s fiscal year 2027 budget request, and Jess and Aaron take listener questions.
