Because nothing says “freedom” like bringing back Alcatraz, Trump has now floated the idea of reopening the infamous prison island. Yes, that Alcatraz, the one we turned into a museum because we thought we were done with locking people away on remote rocks.
So… why now? And who does he plan to put there? (Spoiler: it’s probably not white-collar criminals or corrupt politicians.)
Is this just another MAGA stunt? Or are we watching the early stages of state-sponsored prison camps take shape right before our eyes?
Let's break down the absurdity, the authoritarian undertones, and the truly dystopian vibes coming from the Trump administration’s latest "idea."
Because apparently the 2025 policy agenda is now just one bad Netflix thriller at a time.

It’s another chaotic day in the news cycle, and we’re breaking it all down.
First up: Trump’s interview with Kristen Welker, where he served up a fresh batch of lies, deflections, and victimhood, and then cried “unfair” the moment she pushed back with facts. (We’ve seen this movie before. It never gets better.)
Then we head to Georgia, where Governor Brian Kemp just announced he’s not running for Senate, potentially clearing the way for a possible run by none other than Marjorie Taylor Greene. Because apparently we’re trying to hit that “worst-case scenario.”
And finally, we’ll cover the latest in the Diddy case, where jury selection has officially begun in what’s shaping up to be one of the most high-profile and controversial trials of the year.
Politics, ego, and celebrity scandal...welcome to a typical Monday in America. 🍋

This weekend, Trump sat down with Kristen Welker, and—shocker—it went exactly how you'd expect. He made a parade of false and misleading claims, dodged every substantive question, and the moment he was actually pressed on facts? He whined that the interview was unfair.
Because in Trump World, being held accountable = media bias.
Same script, different day. Let’s get into it.

This morning, we’re diving into Trump’s increasingly authoritarian agenda because the vibes aren’t just bad, they’re fascist-adjacent.
First up: Harvard. Trump’s declared war on the Ivy League, now threatening to revoke the university’s tax-exempt status because they didn’t align with his political narrative. Free speech? Academic freedom? Apparently not when it makes Dear Leader uncomfortable.
Then there’s the Alien Enemies Act, a centuries-old law Trump is now using to deport people en masse. A federal judge just ruled that his use of the law exceeds its legal scope. So the question is: Will they listen to the courts? Or are we just tossing the Constitution out the window for good?
Don breaks down the legal overreach, the political revenge, and how much longer this democracy can function with this level of power abuse.
Spoiler: It’s not looking great.

Tonight on The Don Lemon Show, we’re breaking down the utter madness that is today’s news cycle because the Trump administration just pulled another political stunt straight out of the chaos playbook.
First, Mike Waltz is out as National Security Advisor. Then, plot twist! He’s suddenly named U.N. Ambassador just hours later. And who’s filling in as National Security Advisor? None other than Marco Rubio, because apparently being Secretary of State just isn’t keeping him busy enough.
Joining Don to make sense of the nonsense is Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, who’s been on the front lines pushing back against Trump’s policies and power grabs.
It’s reshuffling, it’s reckless, and it’s all happening in real time. Buckle up, Lemon Nation.

Yesterday, Trump held a Cabinet meeting to reflect on the first 100 days of his second term, and let’s just say, reality did not make the guest list.
Despite sinking approval ratings and plummeting public support for everything from tariffs to mass deportations, the administration spent the entire meeting showering Trump with praise like it was a loyalty test, not a policy check-in.
Don breaks down the bizarre back-patting session, the growing gap between MAGA world and actual America, and what it says about the state of leadership in 2025.
Spoiler: the country’s on fire, and they’re toasting marshmallows.

The Don Lemon Show’s head writer Peter Rothpletz is back for Episode 2 of Snark & Awe!
This time, he’s joined by Town & Country Contributing Editor Andrew Zucker to unpack the shifting tides in Gen Z’s political vibes. Is the generation that helped fuel the meme wars finally over MAGA? Are we witnessing the moment when Trumpism becomes… cringe?

Don sits down with Michael Fanone and Michael Cohen to break down the chaos that’s defined Trump’s first 100 days back in office, and spoiler...it’s not pretty.
From spiraling economic turmoil and job-killing tariffs, to unconstitutional deportations and nonstop attacks on anyone who dares disagree, this presidency is already rewriting the definition of dysfunction.
Whether it’s punishing critics, bulldozing legal norms, or turning the government into a revenge tour, one thing’s clear: the damage is real, and it’s only just begun.
Join Don, Fanone, and Cohen as they unpack the madness and what it means for the future of the country (if there’s still one left to fix).

Should AI Have Boundaries? As AI becomes more powerful and more accessible, the debate over morality and responsibility is heating up. Journalist Jacob Ward joins us to explore the ethical minefield surrounding artificial intelligence.
At the center of it all: Elon Musk’s Grok AI, which reportedly may include a model that will do anything it’s asked to do no matter how dangerous, unethical, or flat-out wrong.
If you ask AI to do something harmful… and it says yes, who’s to blame? The user? The creator? The code?
It’s not science fiction anymore...it’s here.

Last night, Trump sat down with ABC’s Terry Moran for what was supposed to be a presidential interview. What we got instead? A familiar blend of denial, deflection, and delusion.
From flat-out lies to wild exaggerations, Trump steamrolled through reality...even when Moran tried to fact-check him (which, let’s be honest, didn’t happen nearly enough). The result? A chaotic mess that leaves us wondering: do facts even matter anymore?
Don breaks down the most jaw-dropping moments, the missed opportunities, and the dangerous normalizing of nonsense from a man who still refuses to admit truth has consequences.
It’s not journalism’s finest hour, but it’s one we definitely need to talk about.

It’s Day 100 of Trump’s second term, and not only is the economy spiraling, but America’s patience with the ultra-wealthy is wearing dangerously thin.
Public opinion of billionaires is sinking fast, with Elon Musk’s approval ratings plummeting and Jeff Bezos now quietly walking back Amazon’s plan to show how Trump’s tariffs are jacking up prices. (Because heaven forbid people know who’s actually making things worse.)
Tonight, Don breaks down the growing resentment toward America’s richest, and how, once again, it feels like the billionaires are selling out the rest of the country to protect their own bottom line.
Pop the popcorn, Lemon Nation, the class divide is about to get a lot louder.

We are deeply saddened to share that Congressman Gerry Connolly has resigned as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, citing his ongoing battle with esophageal cancer. Congressman Connolly has been a dedicated public servant throughout his career, and we send him and his family strength and support during this difficult time.
But as Don warned back in December, the Democratic Party missed an important opportunity. Instead of selecting a younger, more dynamic leader like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they stuck with the "safe" choice, and now find themselves scrambling for new leadership at a critical moment.
Join Don as he revisits the warning he gave months ago, and breaks down what this moment means for the future of Democratic leadership, and why bold choices matter.

Welcome to Day 100 of Trump’s second term...and what a flaming dumpster fire it’s been.
In just 100 days, we’ve seen a crashing economy, a devastated stock market, mass layoffs, skyrocketing prices, unconstitutional deportations, gutted aid programs, regulatory agencies turned into hollow shells, relentless attacks on the media, and open retribution against anyone daring to question the MAGA agenda.
If the goal was to break as much as possible, as fast as possible...mission accomplished.
Join Don as he breaks down the wreckage, the warning signs, and what the next hundred days could look like if this chaos continues unchecked.
Buckle up, Lemon Nation. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Just 99 days into Trump’s presidency, and the wheels already look like they’re coming off. His approval rating is plummeting, the economy is teetering on the edge thanks to reckless tariffs, and immigration policies are diving headfirst into unconstitutional territory.
Now, facing mounting backlash, economic fallout, and legal challenges, Trump seems to be quietly walking back some of his biggest campaign promises. (Who could have guessed governing is harder than rage-tweeting?)
Don breaks down the growing frustration across the country, the cracks inside MAGA world, and whether Trump’s retreat is too little, too late.
Lemon Nation, the chaos is just getting started.

The tension between journalism and political power just hit a boiling point. 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens has resigned, citing a loss of editorial independence amid mounting pressure from CBS parent company Paramount. The backdrop? A massive defamation lawsuit filed by Donald Trump, alleging deceptive editing of a 2024 interview with then Vice President Kamala Harris.
In a rare on-air moment, correspondent Scott Pelley didn't hold back, calling out Paramount's increasing oversight and defending Owens' commitment to journalistic integrity. Is the media finally fighting back? What does this mean for the future of a free press? Tune in for Don's take.
