Trump Helps Hide Russian Billionaires’ Yachts, MAGA Fashion, & Juneteenth in Historic NYC

In this episode, the Newsgirls uncover the covert DOJ operation to capture yachts, private jets, and penthouses from shady billionaires and dictators around the world. Why did Trump shut down these investigations? Was it to protect his allies?  Then, Wren & Mabel speak to the NYT Chief Fashion Critic about the bottle-blonde, high-heeled, sheath-dress-wearing, red-white-and-blue glory that is MAGA fashion. They break down what political message the Jessica Rabbit, hyper-femme women’s look and the chiselled-jaw, tattooed, macho men’s aesthetic send to the world.   Finally, the Newsgirls join their friend NY History Hub as he checks out historic civil rights landmarks in Harlem, NYC. Perfect to commemorate Juneteenth. SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SzrZrhQRhI5TU8g0ZFFg90jTfOLlEOLoo3YWR9RkMIk/edit?tab=t.0 Learn more about your ad choices.
