This is Your Captain Freaking

About this episode

Susan Collins is caught in a corruption scandal, Tommy Tuberville is a dog with a bone, and Trump locks the ballroom doors from the outside. Rachel Maddow joins to talk about attacks on the press and what a county sheriff’s battle with a tiny local newspaper tells us about democracy.  Plus, Michelle Collins and Nimesh Patel are ready to buy low and sell high, while The Rant Wheel rolls straight through summer TV, Kash Patel jokes, and hoarding all the little soaps and shampoos from the hotel.
