Trump turns up the heat on Cuba with a Castro indictment, carrier movements in the Caribbean, and new claims about Cuban drones — but at home, the blowback is piling up as his revenge fund, Iran vote, ballroom money, and White House records fight all run into resistance.

Today we break down how Trump's payback machine is moving on every front: from crushing GOP dissenters like Thomas Massie in the primaries, to reshaping the party through fear, loyalty tests, and political retaliation. Then we follow the money — the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, the IRS backing off Trump family audits, and the Jan. 6 crowd lining up for payouts. It's revenge politics, rewritten as government policy

Trump's China summit leaves Nvidia's future uncertain, but new reporting on his stock trades raises a bigger question: how many corporate winners lined up with decisions coming out of his own administration? From Palantir and Nvidia to energy stocks and market-moving policy shifts, "Disclosure of the Grift" looks at the blurry line between public office, private profit, and a billionaire president telling Americans he doesn't think about their financial reality. Plus, the MAGA purge rolls on as Bill Cassidy goes down, Thomas Massie faces Trump's wrath, and new polling suggests the floor under Trump may finally be cracking.

Today on Brett Breaks Things, we follow the money behind the headlines. Trump's China summit leaves Nvidia's future uncertain, but new reporting on his stock trades raises a bigger question: how many corporate winners lined up with decisions coming out of his own administration? From Palantir and Nvidia to energy stocks and market-moving policy shifts, "Disclosure of the Grift" looks at the blurry line between public office, private profit, and a billionaire president telling Americans he doesn't think about their financial reality.

Today we're looking at Todd Blanche's rapid rise from Trump's personal lawyer to one of the most powerful figures inside the Justice Department — and the growing questions about whether he's acting as America's top law enforcement official or Trump's personal cleanup crew. From recusal concerns and threats to subpoena reporters, to Raskin demanding answers about alleged payments to fired FBI agents, Blanche is becoming the face of a DOJ built around loyalty. Plus, Trump blows past a stock-trade disclosure deadline while Trump Mobile quietly rewrites the fine print on its gold phone grift.

Trump lands in China hoping for pageantry, praise, and a deal — but the real story is leverage. As the Iran war drains U.S. focus and gives Beijing a major strategic opening, Xi greets Trump with flags, flattery, and a blunt warning on Taiwan. Meanwhile, back home, the grift machine keeps humming: Justice Department officials weigh settling Trump's IRS lawsuit. Foreign policy chaos abroad, cash grabs at home — same show, different continent.

Today we ask what the war has really cost us — not just the Pentagon's $29 billion price tag, but the grocery bills, gas-tax gimmicks, strained alliances, and political cover stories piling up behind it. As Trump heads to China with Nvidia's CEO, Elon Musk, other tech executives, and Eric Trump in tow, Americans are being told not to ask too many questions about their own financial pain — even as prices keep climbing, Iran still retains major missile capabilities, and Hegseth faces bipartisan anger over the war's funding and fallout.

Today on Brett Breaks Things, we break down the "MAHA" movement in action: RFK Jr.'s quiet but sweeping vaccine inquiry, the FDA blocking research that found Covid and shingles vaccines were safe, and the real-world fallout as vaccine skepticism spreads — including babies bleeding to death after parents reject a routine vitamin K shot. Then we head to the Reflecting Pool, where Trump's promised $1.8 million repair plan has somehow ballooned to $13.1 million, complete with a no-bid contract to turn the water blue.
