The arrests of misogynist influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate in Miami have shaken the so-called manosphere and given hope to many women who say they were abused by the pair (allegations they strongly deny). While it appears Trump administration will not intervene in their extradition fight, there are still questions as to whether their brand of toxic masculinity is too deeply embedded in the culture to remove. We talk to a reporter who uncovered how the brothers allegedly exploited women and leveraged social media to make millions.

Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and violence.

President Donald Trump gave a primetime speech on Thursday revealing what he said was new information related to foreign efforts to influence US elections.

We hear from a federal election official recently fired by Trump and take a closer look at the elections security bill Trump is desperate for Congress to pass.

In response, ICE is pausing most traffic stops, according to a source familiar with the guidance. On the ground, competing narratives and fights for access to crucial evidence are only increasing tensions. So is this an issue of training, or a push for more arrests? And is true accountability achievable in a department that has become politicized?

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been hospitalized for nearly a month, but it remains unclear why or what his condition is. His prolonged absence comes just after Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ) disappeared for over 100 days, for what he later revealed was treatment for depression. These incidents are reigniting a prickly debate over what information lawmakers owe voters, the limits of medical privacy, and if Congress is just too old.

Note: This episode was recorded before McConnell's statement revealing that his hospitalization was due to a fall. Read more ⁠here⁠.

It was also recorded before the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham.
