Happy 4th of July! Donald Trump spent Independence Day posting QAnon memes and amplifying extremist groups on his social media platform. Meanwhile, the Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) set to merge with Donald Trump’s social media company just reached a settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as a Justice Department investigation into the deal remains ongoing.

Finally, we’ll recap the Supreme Court decisions from late last week and try to make sense of how a hypothetical case surrounding a fake gay couple led to a ruling with massive implications.

Yet another school shooting has led Biden to once again call for gun safety measures. Meanwhile, the GOP leaders offer thoughts, prayers, and conspiracies. Trump went down to Waco to attack Alvin Bragg and conjure images of cult leader (and alleged pedophile) David Koresh.

What will that mean for our country, and our lives? And finally, we’ll check in with the folks over at Fox News to get the latest on how the Dominion lawsuit is sowing chaos in America’s favorite right-wing cable network.  Thanks to our sponsor Dave!
