James and Lisa discuss the Supreme Court's decision on Trump's executive order regarding birthright citizenship, noting it was a 5-4 decision with mixed views among the justices. They also review Trump's struggling State Fair and the administration's freakout about a new book titled "Regime Change." Also: Are the Democrats communists? (Spoiler alert: they aren't.)

We're witnessing what could be the stupidest era in American history.

Donald Trump and his supporters are spreading fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, anti-intellectualism, and a rejection of science, which are all gaining a foothold in our public discourse. It's maddening. It has never been more important for Americans to stand up for democracy.

You don't have to face stupidity alone. Every week (more or less), "Life in the Stupid Times" will examine the insanity to help you make sense of the growing pile of nonsense. We are proudly pro-democracy and anti-fascist.

James and Lisa offer updates on the illegal Iran war, the White House cage match and the Great Reflecting Pool Debacle of 2026.

Next, our humble hosts explore the weird right-wing freakout over the Obama Presidential Center. It's really, really making MAGA crazy. Just to be safe, we advise Trump supporters not to look directly at it. :)

James and Lisa talk about the latest on the White House cage match, the Trump Administration's assertion that it could legally tear down the Statue of Liberty, Trump's reflecting pool obsession and the increasing threats faced by federal judges who rule against Trump. The discussion then turns to the bonkers right-wing backlash against Pride Month 2026.
