This week on The Necessary Conversation, it's just Chad and Haley — the Lib Sibs holding it down. Mom and Dad are both out this week while Bob deals with some health issues. Love you, Dad. Get better soon. ❤️

⚖️ Trump had James Comey indicted AGAIN — this time over an Instagram photo of seashells spelling "86 47" on a beach. The first indictment was already tossed by a judge. Acting AG Todd Blanche said they won't prosecute everyone who posts "86/47" — just Comey. We ask: is this anything other than political persecution?

📺 Trump and Melania are going after Jimmy Kimmel AGAIN, demanding Disney fire him over a joke calling Melania a "beautiful expectant widow." But this time Disney isn't folding — Kimmel's show aired as normal. We ask whether mainstream media is finally done bending the knee.

🗳️ The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act in a 6-3 party-line decision, striking down Louisiana's second majority-Black congressional district. Within an hour, Florida's Republican-controlled House passed an aggressively gerrymandered map. Every red state is expected to follow. Blue states say they'll do the same. We ask: is this the end of democracy as we know it?

🎉 We simmer down for a breather by discussing Trump's assassination attemtps.

👑 King Charles addressed a joint session of Congress in what was widely read as a carefully worded rebuke of Trump — championing rule of law, independent judiciary, NATO, and Ukraine. Trump posted a photo of them together captioned "2 Kings." We unpack the audacity.

🎖️ Pete Hegseth testified before Congress for the first time since the Iran war began and it went badly. He called Democrats and some Republicans "the biggest adversary we face," got caught in a major contradiction about Iran's nuclear program, and when Rep. Garamendi told him "You have been lying to the American public from day one," Hegseth responded: "Who are you cheering for?"

🇨🇺 And just when you thought one failing war was enough — Trump said the U.S. would be "taking over" Cuba "almost immediately" and signed an executive order expanding sanctions. We ask: will Republicans finally push back if he starts another war?

Just the Lib Sibs this week but we brought the heat. Mom and Dad will be back soon.
