    Trump's SOTU Podium Death Grip: MAGA Hospice Care Edition

    This week Rick's Elephant in the Room is MAGA’s decline. Donald Trump’s latest State of the Union didn’t project strength — it exposed unraveling policies, economic instability, authoritarian overreach, and growing questions about cognitive fitness, all while his inner circle — Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Stephen Miller and their enablers — tighten their grip on power. As the GOP fractures and the 2026 midterms loom, voters are watching a movement lose altitude in real time. The real question isn’t whether MAGA is declining — it’s whether Democrats will hold the architects of corruption and extremism accountable when power shifts, because without consequences in 2026, decline isn’t defeat… it’s just intermission.•••••Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.

    Introducing Kristin Scott Thomas Calls Erdem With Her Fashion Emergencies from The Run-Through with Vogue. Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue Earlier this week, designer Erdem Moralioglu debuted his latest collection in London at his 20th anniversary show. Titled “The Imaginary Conversation” this show was less a retrospective (a term he shied away from) and more an embrace of his many historic and current muses in imagined conversation with one another.  Dame Kristin Scott Thomas joined the legendary designer on the podcast during his big week who has been her friend for over a decade, since he designed an outfit for her to wear to the palace for her damehood appointment. At the time, his working space was above a movie theater and “everything smelled of popcorn” Moralioglu recounted to Chioma in Vogue’s London studio.  The pair of friends also recalled with some fondness and a twinge of horror the infamous nail polish incident of 2018 at the Met Gala—one can imagine where that story is headed—and all the other moments along the way when the Dame has phoned her dear friend with fashion emergencies.  Scott Thomas also took advantage of her moment in front of the microphone to ask Erdem one of her own questions about his process of pattern cutting which was even informative for our resident fashion savant Chioma. As he looks back on the last 20 years, Moralioglu lingers on a sentiment he expressed in his Erdem book—that simultaneously everything has changed and nothing has changed. “I can look back at my graduate collection and at sketchbooks from when I was 21 and still see a connection between who I was then and who I am now,” he told the podcast. The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

    Former DOJ Dan Goldman Unloads on Bondi's Epstein Cover-up

    Former DOJ prosecutor Dan Goldman joins us to break down the growing firestorm around Pam Bondi, Donald Trump, and the Epstein files. As scrutiny over the Epstein investigation intensifies, Bondi’s defense of Trump raises serious questions about DOJ independence, selective prosecution, and political loyalty inside the Department of Justice. Goldman explains what the Epstein files could mean for Trump legally, whether accountability is being delayed or deflected, and how the DOJ is supposed to function when powerful figures are involved. If you’re looking for clear analysis on Trump and Epstein, Pam Bondi’s role, DOJ ethics, and the fight over equal justice under the law — this is it.•••••You can find Rep.

    Two Systems of Power: Royal Arrest, American Silence

    Prince Andrew’s reported arrest in the widening Epstein scandal has reignited explosive questions about the Epstein files, elite corruption, and whether the United States operates under a two-tier justice system. While global headlines focus on the Prince Andrew arrest, a deeper issue is surfacing: why did Pam Bondi’s DOJ never investigate core co-conspirator Les Wexner, tied to the Epstein network? In this episode, we break down the latest Prince Andrew news, the unresolved controversies surrounding the Epstein files, mounting DOJ corruption allegations, and growing scrutiny over selective prosecution and elite immunity. If powerful figures can face consequences abroad, why were key players in the Epstein case never fully investigated by the Department of Justice? This is a deep dive into political corruption, accountability, the integrity of the justice system, and the uncomfortable question at the heart of the Epstein scandal — does justice truly apply equally under the law in America?•••••Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.

    The Lincoln Project’s First Congressional Class in 2026

    For the first time ever, alumni of The Lincoln Project are running for Congress — and the 2026 midterms just shifted. In this special double-header, Rick sits down with Fred Wellman, running in St. Louis, Missouri (MO-02), and George Conway, running in New York, New York (NY-12), to break down what it means for the Lincoln Project to move from ads and strategy to actual ballots and House races. They dive into the stakes of the 2026 election, the fight to flip Congress, the threat of MAGA extremism, and why veterans, constitutional conservatives, and rule-of-law Republicans are stepping up in key swing districts. From the battle for the House majority to the broader fight to protect democracy, this episode unpacks the strategy, the map, and the momentum behind a political movement turning into candidates — and why this moment could redefine the future of Congress. #LincolnProject #2026Midterms #Congress #MAGA #Election2026•••••You can find George Conway @gtconway3d on X, on Bluesky @gtconway.bsky.social, and at his campaign website, www.georgeconwayforcongress.com.

    Why Pam Bondi’s Panicked Epstein Testimony Is Making Headlines

    Rick's Elephant in the Room this week is simple: Pam Bondi and the Epstein files. Under oath, in open court, Bondi melted down while dodging direct questions about Jeffrey Epstein, the sealed records, and what the Department of Justice knew — and when. The exchange has ignited new outrage over the Epstein case, the handling of court testimony, and whether political protection is shielding powerful figures from accountability. Rick breaks down Bondi’s courtroom performance, the legal gymnastics around the Epstein documents, and why this moment matters in the larger fight over DOJ integrity, transparency, and corruption at the highest levels. If you care about the Epstein files, justice for the survivors, sworn testimony, government accountability, and the credibility crisis inside America’s justice system — this is the episode you can’t miss.•••••Support Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s family in carrying on her legacy, by visiting www.gofundme.com/f/help-virginia-giuffres.  Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.

    How Texas Flipped Blue-Curious

    This week, Rick Wilson is joined by Taylor Rehmet to break down one of the most important political upsets in Texas in years: a historic Texas State Senate special election win that flipped a deep-red seat by doing something radical in modern politics—talking to people like human beings. Rehmet walks through a community-first, common-sense campaign built on knocking doors, rejecting corporate cash, focusing on affordability, public education, property taxes, and showing up in real life instead of chasing culture-war nonsense online. Rick dissects why this ground-game-driven Democratic victory in Texas matters far beyond one district, how it exposes the weakness of MAGA politics when voters are treated with respect, and why this race is a blueprint for winning swing and red districts heading into the 2026 midterms. If you want to know how Democrats flip seats, rebuild trust, and start winning again—this is the playbook.•••••Taylor Rehmet is on X @TaylorRehmetTX,and you can find him at his website www.taylorfortx.com.

    Power, Sex, Silence: The Epstein Files They Don't Want You To See

    The Elephant in the Room this week is power—how it protects itself, who it destroys, and why accountability never seems to reach the top. With the release of the Epstein files, what’s exposed isn’t just one predator but a global system where wealth, status, and proximity to power shielded abuse of women and children for years. The documents pull back the curtain on how elites across politics, finance, and international circles used silence, intimidation, and institutional protection to evade consequences—while victims were ignored, discredited, or erased. This episode isn’t about gossip or scandal; it’s about how power operates when no one is watching, why so many powerful men connected to Jeffrey Epstein are still untouched, and what it says about a world where justice has a price tag and impunity is the real currency.•••••Rick Wilson is on X at @TheRickWilson, on Bluesky at @TheRickWilson.bsky.social, and you can check out Rick's Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.
