    The Trump-Epstein Bookmobile Is Hitting the Road

    Today I'm taking you inside the unveiling of the Trump-Epstein Bookmobile on Capitol Hill. The project, carrying 3.5 million pages of publicly released Epstein files, is launching a nationwide tour as the Senate considers Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General. You'll hear from Epstein survivors, family members, advocates, and lawmakers who argue the fight for transparency and accountability is far from over—and why they believe the Department of Justice must put victims and the rule of law first.

    🚨 LIVE Saturday Covfefe Special Edition: The White House Rule You Need to Know About Before Monday

    In this special edition of Saturday Covfefe, Olivia Troye sits down with Dr. Sean Bruna, a medical anthropologist and former senior advisor at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, to discuss a proposed Office of Management and Budget (OMB) rule that has received little public attention but could have far-reaching consequences for scientific research across the United States. Together, they break down what the proposed rule would do, why scientists and medical experts are raising concerns, and how changes to the federal grant-making process could affect everything from cancer research and clinical trials to disaster preparedness, environmental science, patient safety, and technological innovation. Drawing on her experience inside the White House, Olivia explains why OMB plays such a significant role in shaping federal policy and why this proposal deserves broader public attention before the public comment period closes. The conversation also explores: Why independent peer review has long been the foundation of federally funded research. How the proposed rule could increase the role of political appointees in funding decisions. The potential impact on universities, researchers, healthcare innovation, and America's global scientific leadership. How the federal public comment process works—and why individual comments can influence final regulations.

    LIVE from Ohio: I Followed a Bus Full of Judges. Here's Why.

    This week, I hit the road to Ohio after hearing about something I simply couldn't ignore: a bus full of retired judges traveling across America's heartland to meet people where they are and talk about the rule of law. In this special live episode, I take you inside Justice in Motion, an inspiring initiative organized by Democracy Rising Collaborative and Keep Our Republic. You'll hear from retired judges, civic leaders, and advocates who believe protecting our democracy starts with conversations in our communities. Along the way, we discuss: Why retired judges are taking the rule of law directly to the American people. The importance of an independent judiciary and public trust. The inspiration behind the tour and the Polish judges who sparked this movement. Conversations with students, community members, and civic leaders across Ohio. Why I believe this effort deserves to reach communities across the country. And yes... you'll meet Carlo 🐾, the tour's unofficial four-legged mascot.. I hope this conversation leaves you as inspired and hopeful as it left me. Get full access to Olivia of Troye at www.livingitwitholiviatroye.com/subscribe

    ICE Took Her Husband. Four Justices Took Our Votes.

    This episode was recorded on Friday, May 8, 2026, and released on a delay to protect the immigrant family involved from further targeting by the Trump administration. In this deeply personal episode, Olivia shares one of the hardest days she has faced in years: accompanying her best friend and four-year-old godson to say goodbye to the boy’s father before his deportation after nearly a year in ICE detention. Olivia reflects on what she witnessed at the Elizabeth Detention Facility in New Jersey — the emotional toll on families, the inhumane conditions inside detention centers, and the broader system that has normalized cruelty behind closed doors. She speaks candidly about the rage and clarity that came from watching a child cling to his father, knowing something devastating was happening even if he couldn’t fully understand it. The episode also connects that experience to another major event that same day: the Virginia Supreme Court overturning the state’s voter-approved redistricting map in a 4-3 ruling, reshaping political power ahead of the midterms. These are not separate stories. Immigration policy, voter suppression, and structural power are deeply connected — all centered around who gets a voice, who gets counted, and who gets to belong in America. Olivia also reflects on her years in national security, why this moment feels different, and why she refuses to walk away from the fight.

    The Real State of the Union

    At the “State of the Swamp” event hosted by Defiance.org, I delivered a rebuttal to President Trump’s State of the Union address. I served in the first Trump White House. I saw what happens when power stops serving the country, and starts serving itself. That’s why I chose two words: I defy. In this speech, I address blind loyalty, fear-based governance, and what the State of the Union didn’t say about working families who are still struggling with rising costs and economic pressure. American families are hurting. That’s the real state of the union. Thank you for watching. Subscribe for more analysis and accountability.
