The second Trump administration has taken off—along with antacid sales—and while it can be painful at times, it’s too important not to follow. That said, the Political Update Podcast makes it easy to follow.

Ep. 254: Trump’s Gas Lies Running on Empty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump continues to diss Americans who are struggling due to high gas prices, claiming they have to suck it up to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon—he’s gaslighting with premium gas—while he continues to lie that he went to Ground Zero the day after 9/11. (He’s a gasbag filled with premium gas.) Trump’s shenanigans got you at the end of your rope? Robert Hubbell’s Today’s Edition newsletter on Substack will give you hope. #trump #politics #trumpnews #USPolitics #GasPrices #FactChec
Trump’s Arc de Travesty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Trump administration plans to break ground on the 250-foot arch near the National Mall despite an ongoing lawsuit. (The Supreme Court will rule on it AFTER it’s built.) Meanwhile, funding for bike lanes is being cut from a Biden-era infrastructure bill because Trump sees them as DEI pet projects—it’s a very unfunny, very dangerous woke joke. #Shorts #PoliticalHumor #USPolitics #DonaldTrump #NationalMall #America250 #TrumpNews #bikelanes #DEI
Ep. 252: Postal Service Goes Postal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A U.S. Postal Service whistleblower revealed that Trump officials were defying a court order and implementing a plan to prevent millions from receiving mail-in ballots (fascism, anyone?) while the U.S. Mint announced that $1 coins featuring Trump’s portrait are available for purchase (grift, anyone?). #Politics #PoliticalHumor #Democracy #USPS #USPolitics #PoliticalSatire
Ep. 251: The Lame Name Game (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump signed an executive order changing Lake Ontario to Lake America amid his trade war with Canada—he’s a brilliant tactician, ain’t he?—then he railed against communities who don’t want data centers, claiming they’ll end up poor. (That train has left the station—and the poor are under it.) Trump’s shenanigans got you at the end of your rope? The Democracy Docket newsletter on Substack will give you hope. #DonaldTrump #TrumpNews #PoliticalSatire #USPolitics #YouTubeShorts #PoliticalHumo
Ep. 250: Goodbye, Dolly! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump ordered flags flown at half-staff to honor Dolly Parton whom he claimed really liked him—the only thing she liked is that he wore cheaper wigs than her—while financially-strapped cattle ranchers fumed about Trump’s plan to import cheaper beef. (The trade war with Canada is hurting them as well, which they consider a slapshot in the face.) Trump’s shenanigans got you at the end of your rope? The Letters from an American newsletter on Substack will give you hope. #DollyParton #trump #
