In Which We Discuss:

1. Ezra Klein condenses twelve years of Brain Trust Live into one hour of reasons why Joe Biden should not run for president.

2. George Santos wishes “you fucking idiots” good luck raising funding next quarter! 

3. For once, Joe Manchin’s “Listening Tour” resulted in him listening.

4. The fate of America rests on one simple question: Did anyone see Fani Willis kissing Nathan Wade in the year 2019?

5. Donald Trump becomes the opposite of a billionaire, which is the closest he’ll ever get to that sum.

6. Trump’s new sneaker line is shipping in July 2024, so you’re definitely not getting those.
