The Moment LIVE! Politics & Culture, Explained

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.

Lena Dunham's new memoir Famesick has hit millennial hands, and there are thoughts on the Adam Driver allegations. It turns out that the discourse around Lena Dunham has always been rooted in jealousy.

The Moment LIVE celebrates Trans Day of Visibility with guest co-hosts Billie Lee (Vanderpump Rules, Why Are You So Sensitive?) and Jeffrey Jay (comedian, Riverdale writer) — plus Scott Turner Schofield (Emmy nominated actor, Becoming a Man in 127 Easy Steps) for one of the most joyful, honest, and necessary conversations about trans life in 2026.
TSA agents are finally getting back pay — and Lindsey Graham celebrated by riding Space Mountain twice at Disney World. We have questions.
Laura Dern is producing the first scripted Jeffrey Epstein series, playing the journalist who broke the story. Too soon? Billie, Jeffrey and Meredith weigh in.
Then: Scott, Billie and Jeffrey on why trans visibility matters more than ever right now, Idaho's bathroom bill that carries harsher penalties than a DUI, what allies should actually say today ("I see you" is a great start, and so is "I'll pay for dinner!"), surprising moments of affirmation from unexpected places, including Idaho, and why real Republicans should be furious about what's being done in their name.

Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès break down the DHS partial deal, Trump's Iran deadline drama & the surprise Florida house seat flip with Amanda Litman, co-founder of Run for Something, on how progressives are building power from the ground up.
Breaking this morning: Democrats and Republicans have reached a partial DHS deal. TSA gets funded, no additional ICE funding, Save America Act dropped. Is this actually a win? Meredith and Rebecca break it down.
Then: Trump gave Iran a second deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran released an AI propaganda video instead. What does that tell us about where this war is actually heading, and why does it keep hitting you at the gas pump?
Plus: HBO debuted its Harry Potter series trailer this week. Why does it exist? What does JK Rowling's transphobia have to do with the International Olympic Committee's trans athlete ban? And is 0.002% of college athletes really the hill everyone wants to die on?
Amanda Litman joins to talk about Run for Something's biggest week yet. Emily Gregory just flipped a Florida house seat in a district that includes Mar-a-Lago, 80,000 people raised their hands to run for office last year, and why the Democrats' real problem is that progressive media keeps booking the same white men. Plus: should every Democrat over 70 retire? Amanda has thoughts.

Private equity in healthcare, ICE in airports & Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest video — Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès break it all down on The Moment LIVE, featuring Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) on his new legislation to ban private equity from hospitals and nursing homes.
Senator Murphy explains how the One Big Beautiful Bill softens up your local hospital for a private equity takeover, why the mortality rate in private equity-owned nursing homes is 10% higher, and what Democrats can actually do while DHS is shut down. Plus: is your lunchmeat at risk of being repossessed? If you're a private equity-owned hospital, probably.
Trump sent ICE to patrol airports. Not to help with TSA screening, just to level up the chaos of the experience. Meredith and Rebecca break down what that means for travelers, why Democrats refuse to fund it, and what the Save America Act has to do with any of it.
Justin Timberlake's DWI arrest video is finally out, and Meredith has a take on the white privilege moment everyone missed.
Also: Markwayne Mullin confirmed as DHS secretary, Stephen Miller is actually running the show, and Senator Murphy's new book Crisis of the Common Good — and did we get an exclusive announcement about a presidential run?
