In another jam-packed week of GOP fuckery, The New Abnormal co-hosts Molly Jong-Fast and Andy Levy looks at look at the party\u2019s profiles in cowardice, starting with the new revelations about House Minority \u201cLeader\u201d Kevin McCarthy cozying back up to Donald Trump and then shifting to Ron DeSantis\u2019 anti-Disney jihad and what Molly calls the party\u2019s new brand of \u201cunpopular populism.\u201d

No one is crying for Disney or its special tax status, says Andy, but it\u2019s still nuts that \u201cthe government of Florida is now basically telling businesses, \u2018just shut up and don't take any, you know, even the most milquetoast of stands\u201d or we\u2019re going to punish you even if you\u2019re a company that brings the state billions in revenue a year. Then the Daily Beast\u2019s Roger Sollenberger comes in to break down his recent reporting on the Maga Goon Squad\u2019s new money woes, as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn, and Matt Gaetz collectively spent $275,000 more than they took in the first quarter of 2022. Plus, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, the second lady of Pennsylvania whose husband, John, is now running for the Senate, and the founder of the Free Story in Braddock, \u201cactually the first free store in the country,\u201d tells Molly how that came from \u201cthis idea that some of us have so much and some have so little and there's so much excess, and how can we bring all those worlds together to do good. I really believe in mutual aid and having people connect who maybe would otherwise think they don't have anything in common and the free store was a place where all of that could happen.\u201d
