Pope Francis Dies, Katy Perry Returns to Earth, Trump’s Gaudy Oval Office Makeover, China Trolls GOP Rep, IRS Targets Student Loan Defaulters, and More!

Podcast: Episode 47

Move over, Meet the Press—it’s time to MEET THE MESS!

This week on the podcast: Pope Francis died and JD Vance might’ve been his final visitor. (Curious timing. 🤔) Katy Perry allegedly went to space and, tragically, returned. The IRS is gearing up to garnish wages from anyone who’s defaulted on their student loans. And, Trump’s “Gold Guy” gave the Oval Office a makeover that screams low-rent Vegas.

In other news, China has been roasting Karoline Leavitt for wearing clothes made in China, Tate McRae is facing heat for collaborating with Morgan Wallen, Pete Hegseth is leaking military plans in yet another Signal chat, Team Trump is drafting a new plan to make women have more babies (hello, Handmaid’s Tale), and the White House has updated the official COVID website to support the lab leak theory because facts don’t matter anymore.

Oh, and Karyn tried to explain this meme to her uncle and it didn’t go well. (Things are awkward now.)
