In this episode, things go from bad to worse before finally getting a little bit hopeful.
Marina Purkiss and Jemma Forte dive into Trump’s latest chaos, the increasingly bizarre state of US politics, vaccine decisions that have them seriously worried, and the extraordinary rise of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Trump's obsession with the Michigan Senate candidate offers a rare glimmer of hope, particularly when the Democratic candidate refuses to play Trump's favourite game of intimidation and personal attacks.
Donald Trump is facing fresh questions over his financial affairs, his administration's handling of the Epstein files, and the increasingly extraordinary conduct of his Justice Department.
The Trawl ladies also get into Trump's increasingly alarming approach to vaccines and public health, the latest developments around Iran, and the growing international backlash against Israel, including powerful interventions from Ram Emanuel and Gabor Maté.
Along the way, there are detours into Andrew Tate's prison complaints, Greg Wallace's anniversary plans, Vanessa Feltz's pink broadcasting palace, Reform's bizarre national anthem rule, and a biometric bra that absolutely nobody asked for.
It's another trawl through the week's politics - it's furious, funny, occasionally hopeful, and with plenty of reasons to wonder what on earth is going on.
