    The Stakes Holiday Edition 🎄

    It’s The Stakes Holiday Edition 🎄 — and somehow, even at the end of the year, Trump is still committing to making things as horrible as possible. Tara Setmayer and Michelle Kinney break down Trump’s unhinged speech, the Vanity Fair piece everyone’s talking about, and why his latest “Patriot Games” announcement sounds disturbingly close to The Hunger Games. We pause to remember the life and legacy of Rob Reiner — artist, storyteller, patriot — and close with our year-end Bright Spots: the moments, people, and reminders of what’s still good in this country, and why the fight is worth it.

    Trump’s INSANE Threats To Execute Democrats, Coast Guard Clears Hate Symbols, Latest on Epstein

    This week on The Stakes, Tara Setmayer and Michelle Kinney break down a terrifying escalation: Donald Trump openly calling for Democrats to be hanged, violent rhetoric that goes beyond politics and barrels straight into authoritarianism. We also dig into the Coast Guard’s quiet removal of swastikas, nooses, and other extremist symbols from its official training materials — a stark reminder of how hate has seeped into America’s institutions. And finally, the latest updates in the Epstein revelations, which continue to expose a web of corruption, deflection, and cover-ups that Trumpworld is desperate to bury. This moment demands clarity and courage. That’s why we’re here.

    But His Emails! New Epstein Docs Implicate Trump | Boebert Cornered, MAGA Fractures

    Newly surfaced Epstein documents reveal explosive details that directly implicate Trump, including claims that “he knew about the girls.” As these revelations break, Trump’s behavior is getting more frantic, more erratic, more desperate, and more guilty-looking by the hour. Meanwhile, Lauren Boebert finds herself cornered by Donald Trump in The Situation Room. The MAGA base is starting to crack. What happens when the authoritarian coalition starts turning on itself? We break it all down. Tara Setmayer and Michelle Kinney are LIVE to make sense of the chaos, the cover-ups, and what this moment means for the fight ahead.
