We cover California becoming drought free for the first time in 25 years, the Trump administration threatening national park visitors over altered passes featuring Donald Trump, and new data showing US job growth holding steady amid broader economic strain.

The conversation expands to Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion military budget, threats involving Venezuela and Greenland, bipartisan concern over unchecked war powers, and growing scrutiny of DHS after an ICE officer killed a US citizen in Minnesota while officials rushed to push a false narrative.And of course we cover the murder of Renee Nicole Good. @michaelregilio

Michael Regilio and Travis Clyburn dig into a week of pardons for loyalists, punishment for states that resist, Epstein files in limbo, climate science dismantled, public health defunded and none of it is accidental. @michaelregilio

Why did Donald Trump pardon Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras and a man convicted in a US court of trafficking massive quantities of cocaine? This episode argues the answer is - the end of democracy. Honduras became the testing ground for ZEDEs, private cities with no voting, no public courts, and no democratic accountability. These projects map directly onto the anti democracy ideas of tech philosopher Curtis Yarvin and were backed by powerful Silicon Valley figures, including Peter Thiel. When Honduras dismantled the ZEDE system, investors sued the country for billions. Now follow the money, the ideology, and the political pipeline from Honduras to Washington, including Thiel’s backing of JD Vance and Trump’s role in keeping this experiment alive. This is not about capitalism. It is about post democracy governance. And Honduras was the laboratory. @michaelregilio
