• Recap: The Valley S2E2 - Checking In

  Jax's recent display of irrational anger and violence comes to a head in this episode when his friends and family encourage him to admit himself into a facility. As he's packing to leave, we witness another volatile argument with Brittany when she confronts him about breaking their rule not to have women stay over at their family home. That argument culminates in Brittany calling Jax out for substance abuse and leaving him speechless when she asks if he could pass a drug test. Meanwhile, Jesse and Michelle have a confrontation that ends with her bursting his shiny, new, love bubble. Zach's boyfriend Benji agrees to move in with him for the summer, Kristin tries to get through to Jax about the severity of his situation, and Janet laments her attempt to rebuild a friendship with Kristin.

• Roasting the Broligarchy: Signalgate Sequel, DOGE Whistleblower, Harvard's Backbone, and a Weenis Rocket

  This week brought more headaches for former Fox (Entertainment) "News" host turned Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. Amidst whispers of chaos at the Pentagon, Pete ranted about the media on the White House lawn as attendees enjoyed a holiday dedicated to a risen savior by rolling expensive eggs and learning about corporate sponsorships. As more Federal agencies and jobs are dismantled, a whistleblower submitted a report on DOGE's concerning activity to remove sensitive data. Meanwhile, Harvard became the first major university to refuse to comply with administration demands, setting off a chaotic but amusing game of chicken. Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland made good on his promise to go to El Salvador and try to get Kilmar Abrego Garcia out of CECOT, speaking with him under supervision and with shameless efforts to sway the optics of their meeting. The judicial branch is still fighting back, with one judge moving forward to hold the administration in contempt for violating his order, and with the Supreme Court at a crossroads in the hell of their own making. Through it all, RFK Jr. continues to remind people why no one should listen to him - ever. Also, a bunch of women in skin tight bodysuits and glam went high up in the air in a rocket shaped like a penis and got upset when no one thought it was cool.

• Recap: The Valley S2E1 - Separation Anxiety

  The Season 2 premier starts with an alarming update as viewers are brought into the aftermath of an alarming fight between Jax and Britney, one bad enough to result in everyone encouraging him to seek professional help. Then, we flashback to a week prior and see Britney's efforts to find her own place within the friend group, and the world, independent of Jax. Jesse and Michelle navigate contentious divorce proceedings and co-parenting drama as they both establish new relationships. Kristin and Luke are still focused on starting a family - and standing by Kristin's comments revealing Janet's rumored conversations about Michelle from last season. Now that Janet has had her baby, she wants to mend the issues with Kristin, but still has it out for Zach. Nia and Danny continue to debate where to move and when to have another child, Jasmine and Melissa are getting more serious, and through it all, we're reminded of what it looks like when people actually "mention it all" on a show.

• Recap: RHOBH Reunion, Part 3 (Extended & Uncensored)

  The last segment of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion is a meeting that could have been an email. Beyond seeing Garcelle pushed to her limits, the conversations ruminate on mostly tired topics, save for new crumbs of information from Kyle about Mo - per her tried and true formula to dangle the possibility of progress at the very end of a stalemate storyline. Dorit finds joy in exhaustively berating Sutton as Boz chimes in to support her new bestie's endeavors, Erika publicly states that Tom Girardi is incompetent, Sutton can't break free from the trap of seeking clique-acceptance, and the additions of Kathy/Jennifer Tilly continue to provide much needed comedic relief. Despite Garcelle starting the reunion hoping for a cast photo, when the moment comes AFTER the reunion has completed, she opts out and leaves, and no one follows to check on her - until it's too late.

• Roasting the Broligarchy: Brave Women, Tariff Trauma, and Homegrown Horrors

  The summary of yet another chaotic week kicks off by acknowledging the testimonies of Liz Oyer and Rachel Cohen, both of whom have been mentioned previously for standing up to pressures from the administration in their own ways. From there, we cover the impact of losing CDC and DOJ personnel, Project 2025's warped progress, how more "loyalists" are showing their fealty, the SAVE Act's pink poll tax, and blowback from placing steep tariffs on China. However, most news pales in comparison to the significance of Kilmar Abrego Garcia still not being returned from a maximum security prison for terrorists in El Salvador after being mistakenly sent there - and the added enthusiasm that U.S. citizens deemed "monsters" could be next.Find your representative's contact info at USA.GOVAll opinions are personal and not representative of any outside company, person, or agenda.
