“Fever Dreams and Fantasms.”

Today on The Blindspot, Jason drills into the Epstein files mess: why Trump and House Republicans are blocking their release, why that makes no political sense if he's clean, and how the MAGA base keeps swallowing contradictions to protect their guy. He covers the failed discharge petition from Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, the House’s early recess to avoid a vote, and the Wall Street Journal’s unsettling Epstein birthday letter supposedly from Trump. Then he turns to Gaza, ripping into Israel’s famine-inducing tactics while still backing the war against Hamas—and breaking down why both those positions hold. Also in the mix: a brief look at Cambodia–Thailand tensions, a takedown of left and right conspiracy delusions, and a call for radical transparency from institutions that treat the public like fools.
