Being an American right now is a wild ride. Every day brings a new controversy, breathless media narratives, and the same loud voices rushing in to score political points. Then another Truth Social post drops and the circus moves on. But all that noise is drowning out the actual story. On her new podcast Runaway Country, veteran journalist Alex Wagner talks to the voices at the center of the headlines: from the fringes of the resistance, to the marrow of MAGA, to the many people who’ve found ...

PART I The guy who is eternally on the Enemies List, the 45th and 47th president -- aka Vladdy's Boy, aka Don the Con, aka F*ckboi Von Clownface -- is getting an extra special mention this week. Every week, there are a million reasons to nominate Trump the Chump, but this week, Trump revealed his pathetic nature for all of MAGA to bear witness. First, let us tee this up. Virginia Guiffre -- who was a survivor of Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew, and others -- was critical to getting justice for the hundreds of victims. In a clip that went viral on Tuesday, Trump told reporters that he *knew* who Virginia Guiffre was, that she'd worked as a spa attendant at Mar-a-Lago, and that Epstein had "stolen" her from him. What Trump is really saying is that Guiffre was property, he was aware that she was being trafficked, and groomed/raped by sexual predators. He didn't care about Guiffre, only his ego, and that Epstein had gotten one over on him. Trump is no stranger to who or what Epstein was -- he joked that Epstein "liked girls on the younger side" and that, in Trump's 50th birthday card to Epstein, they shared a "wonderful secret." Distractions are still being volleyed against the wall -- but Trump knows he's hiding who he is and, this time, he can't outrun it. PART II Emil Bove -- who looks like a part-time crypt-keeper -- was confirmed to the federal bench this week, and it's plain as day that Trump will put Bove onto the Supreme Court bench. The Senate was aware that Bove had lied to them and was involved in several DOJ cover-ups, and yet they ran his nomination up the chain. The fact that one president will have seated four of the Supreme Court justices should raise the question: Is this really what's best for America? Bove is a particular corrupt flavor -- there's a MOB lawyer vibe to this guy. (Shut up, John Thune, no one wants to hear you wimper your phony "hope" for what you *think* he will do.) There's nothing the Senate won't do for Trump now. . Follow Lincoln Square on X at @lincolnsquareHQ, Bluesky at @lincolnsquare.media, and Substack at @lincolnquare. .
