Shein Buys Everlane, Trump Hits New Low & Brad Lander on ICE Arrests & the Epstein Files

Description: 
Shein just bought Everlane for $100 million — and Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès on what it means that the millennial conscious fashion brand sold to fast fashion's biggest villain, why Everlane represents the death of the girl boss era, and why it's actually a signal of the shrinking middle class.
 
Trump's approval rating just hit a new low of 37%, only where it was right as he was leaving office the first time. Only 32% of Americans think the country is on the right track. And Democrats aren't doing much better. Plus: Incumbent Louisiana Senator Dr Bill Cassidy lost his primary to MAGA-backed candidates, and why Meredith thinks 60% of why Democrats lose is just that America really hates women.
 
Then Brad Lander, candidate for NY-10 running against establishment Democrat Dan Goldman, on the Epstein files 24-hour filibuster reading room, being arrested by ICE while escorting immigrants to court, yesterday's federal judge stay on ICE arrests in New York City immigration courts, what a Democratic House and Senate can actually do in the next two years, affordable housing social bonds, and his advice for LA's mayoral race
 
Topics: Shein Everlane acquisition fast fashion, Trump approval rating 37% new low, Bill Cassidy primary loss, Brad Lander NY-10 congressional race, Dan Goldman, ICE arrests immigration court New York, Epstein files filibuster reading room, Eliza Orland, affordable housing social bonds, ranked choice voting Spencer Pratt, Couples Therapy Showtime, Democratic Party 2026 midterms

Is Spencer Pratt Running for Mayor or Filming a Reality Show? PCOS Renamed PMOS & Mel Robbins' AI Agenda

Breaking news for The Moment LIVE community: MSNBC's rebrand MS Now has announced a new show called The Moment with Katie Tur, and Rebecca Sananès, an Edward R. Murrow award-winning journalist with a master's in journalism, is calling it what it is: plagiarism. 
 
Spencer Pratt has cameras following him around for a reality TV show, and TMZ just caught him living at Hotel Bel Air, not the Airstream trailer he's been campaigning from. Meredith Lynch, Rebecca Sananès and Dr. Sarah Oreck on why this is exactly the Trump playbook and why Karen Bass would never get away with this.
 
Then: Mel Robbins, Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore are all getting paid to push AI, and Meredith turned down four offers in two weeks. Dr. Oreck on why Tahoe loses its power supply in 2027 because of data centers, and why women not adopting AI isn't a bug, it's a feature.
 
Then the good news: PCOS is officially being renamed PMOS, and it changes everything about how women get diagnosed. Dr. Oreck explains what PMOS actually is, why 70% of women who have it don't know, and why the name change matters.
 
Plus: the Lincoln Memorial is now painted airplane toilet blue, Freeing Britney Spears without next steps, Jack Schlossberg's chaotic campaign, Hayden Panettiere’s return, and Zara Larson dragging Chris Brown.

DeuxMoi on Taylor Swift's Wedding, Jacob Elordi & Kendall Jenner + Chelsea Handler Roasts Tony Hinchcliffe, Update on Detained Moms at Dilley

You raised $115,000 for the moms and children detained at the Dilley Detention Center over Mother's Day weekend — and we cannot believe it. Casey Revkin, executive director and co-founder of Each Step Home, joins to break down where the money goes, what these moms are spending it on (water, phone calls, birthday candy for their kids), and how your advocacy already got the water price reduced from $30 to $9 a case. Plus: The Moment LIVE merch is here and this week's proceeds go directly to Dilley.
 
Then: Chelsea Handler and Pete Davidson roasted Tony Hinchcliffe at the Kevin Hart roast and he looked pissed. Meredith on why you can't be a good comedian if you can't laugh at yourself.
 
Then DeuxMoi — the anonymous celebrity gossip creator who upended the tabloid industry — on Alex Cooper vs Alix Earle, the Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Met Gala fight, whether Jacob Elordi and Kendall Jenner are actually dating, Taylor Swift's July 3rd NYC wedding, Euphoria cast drama, and how she actually develops her sources.
Plus: Our fave Molly McAleer goes rogue on TMZ about Karen Read instead of talking about Mike Vrabel. Remarkably Bright Creatures on Netflix is a throwback of a feel-good film.

Spencer Pratt Won the LA Mayor Debate? Mike Vrabel Update & Dr. Sarah Oreck on Post-Roe & the MAGA Baby Boom

89% of viewers named Spencer Pratt the winner of the LA mayoral debate — what would Justin Bobby say about that? Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès on why that's alarming and what Spencer Pratt and Trump actually have in common. Plus: Hantavirus is on a cruise ship with 146 people from 23 countries, human-to-human transmission is now possible, and the US withdrew from the WHO, which is literally what the WHO is for.
 
Then: Mike Vrabel update: Following the photos from 2020 of him and Dianna Russini kissing at a bar, we have video from 2021 of them on a boat (alone) while she's seven months pregnant. Meredith's theory: both spouses knew. Dr. Sarah Oreck has thoughts.
 
Then Dr. Sarah Oreck, board-certified psychiatrist, women's and perinatal mental health specialist, and co-founder of Mavida Health, on the MAGA baby boom, why IVF and abortion bans can't coexist, the tradwife pipeline to Christian nationalism, why Ballerina Farm is a business not a lifestyle, Black women's maternal mortality being 243% higher in abortion ban states, why SSRIs are not addictive and RFK Jr. is not a doctor, and what's actually happening to postpartum women in hospital deserts.
 
Topics: Spencer Pratt LA mayor debate, Hantavirus cruise ship WHO, Mike Vrabel Dianna Russini update, Dr Sarah Oreck, MAGA baby boom, IVF abortion ban, tradwife pipeline, Ballerina Farm, post-Roe maternal mortality, Black maternal deaths, SSRIs RFK Jr, postpartum depression, Mavida Health, Mother's Day

Met Gala Recap: Blake Lively Settlement, No ICE OUT Pins, & Rep. Salinas on RFK Jr.'s SSRI Crackdown and AI Data Centers

Met Gala 2026 recap: not one ICE OUT pin on the red carpet. Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès on Blake Lively's 2006 dress the day after her Justin Baldoni settlement, Lauren Sanchez's Madame X look and why she'll never be timeless, Chase Infiniti as best dressed of the night, Beyoncé and Blue Ivy, Kendall and Kylie, Sarah Paulson's dollar bill moment, and why the Met Museum is quietly trying to move away from Bezos by 2028. Plus: the Hip & Humble sweatshirt saga — Meredith reached out to the Salt Lake City airport store that both Mike Vrabel and Jen Vrabel visited after the affair photos dropped, and they sent her the actual sweatshirts.
 
Then Rep. Andrea Salinas (OR-6) on Oregon's 100+ AI data centers, why rural communities aren't as desperate for tech jobs as Amazon thinks, a coming wildfire crisis, and RFK Jr.'s SSRI crackdown — and why as a member of the bipartisan Mental Health Caucus she is not having it.
 
Plus: Meredith on Each Step Home, the nonprofit putting funds into Dilley detainees' commissary accounts — because the water there isn't drinkable and costs $30 a case.

A Bezos-Tainted Met Gala, Beyoncé's Album Theory & Francesca Fiorentini on the Voting Rights Act and Dems in 2026

The Met Gala is Monday and the Bezoses are co-chairing: Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès on why the theme is as bland as their wedding invitation, why Lauren Sanchez can't buy her way in, and Rebecca's theory that Beyoncé is dropping a rock album announcement for Act 3 on Monday. Plus: Devil Wears Prada 2 is out and it’s just not hitting the same.
 
Then: the internet is dissecting Olivia Wilde's body again, and why we're all held to an impossible standard manufactured by iPhone filters.
 
Then Francesca Fiorentini, comedian, MSNBC contributor and host of Bitchuation Room, on the Supreme Court gutting the Voting Rights Act, what it means for the 2026 midterms, why Trump is acting like this is the last election, and why Graham Platner vs Janet Mills in Maine feels like another John Fetterman moment.

Euphoria's Wedding Went off the Rails, Shots Fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner & Rep. Joaquin Castro Goes Inside Dilley

Shots were fired at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, and then things got even weirder. The suspect left a manifesto, Norah O'Donnell read it to Trump on 60 Minutes, and his response told us everything. Plus: Pregnant Karoline Leavitt was ducking under tables while Secret Service grabbed Trump, and Melania is calling for Jimmy Kimmel to be fired.
 
Then: Euphoria's wedding episode went off the rails. Meredith thinks the show has jumped the shark, Rebecca is done entirely. Plus the theory about why the Cassie/Nate storyline exists at all, and why Eric Dane is delivering the best performance of the season while living with ALS.
 
Then Rep. Joaquin Castro (TX-20) goes inside the Dilley Detention Center — the two month old baby who was the youngest detainee, the fact that not a single person there has a criminal record (ICE told him that), medical care being denied until lives are at stake, private equity making billions off child imprisonment, and what accountability actually looks like after the midterms.
Rebecca's moment is A Small Light and Sergey Brin's MAGA era. Meredith's moment is Emma Grede's Start With Yourself — and why it's not the girl boss book people think it is.

Is Alex Cooper's Husband the Problem at Unwell? Summer House Reunion Leaked & Dr. Judith Joseph on AI Therapy & the Joy Crisis

Breaking Summer House news: leaked audio from the Bravo reunion has Ciara confronting Amanda about West: was Ciara's strongest argument buried by her weakest one?
 
Then: a Bloomberg report says Alex Cooper's husband and co-CEO berates staff and the Unwell network has massive turnover. Neither Alex nor her husband showed up to the all-hands meeting to address it. We have it on good authority that a much bigger glossy magazine article is about to drop. Hot Take: if you don't know your husband is running a toxic workplace, you might not be the stellar businesswoman you think you are.
 
Then the California Governor's race debate: in the room with Tom Steyer, Matt Mahan, and Xavier Becerra. Plus why Katie Porter's best argument keeps getting buried by her worst one, and what Becerra said about Swalwell that didn't sit right.
 
Then Dr. Judith Joseph — psychiatrist, NYU professor, and author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy — on why AI is a sycophant that tells kids what they want to hear at their most vulnerable moments, why the happiness curve is flipping for young people for the first time in history, and why kindness might be the only thing that saves us.

Is There a MAGA Catholic Rift? Kash Patel Sues The Atlantic, Katy Perry Under Investigation + Trump vs Pope Leo ft. Colleen Dulle

Kash Patel is suing The Atlantic for $250 million after a report citing two dozen anonymous sources says the FBI director has a serious drinking problem, and Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès have thoughts on why Trump, who hates alcohol, might fire him next. Plus: Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out as Labor Secretary, and the pattern of cabinet departures is accelerating.
 
Then: Ruby Rose is alleging that Katy Perry sexually assaulted her in a club, and Katy Perry's rep responded by attacking Ruby Rose's character. Meredith and Rebecca on why women can be abusers too, the power dynamic nobody is talking about, and what Katy Perry's relationship with Russell Brand might tell us.
 
Then Colleen Dulle — Vatican correspondent at America Media and host of Inside the Vatican — on why Trump picked a fight with Pope Leo, whether it's creating a real MAGA Catholic rift, why Leo was really elected, whether JD Vance's Catholic book cover featuring a Methodist church is the most on-brand mistake of the administration, and why Pope Leo probably won't come back to the United States until Trump is out of office. Plus: is there really a surge of young people going to Catholic mass?
