    What happens when a man makes headlines for threatening Trump's cabinet at the Capitol? The political landscape is fraught with tension, and I’m here to unravel the complexities. This episode of "A World Gone Mad" sees me, Jeff Alan Wolf, dissect the implications of these actions and analyze the controversial move by Google to agree with Trump about the Gulf of Mexico following an executive order. As if that weren't enough, the turmoil within Florida's Republican ranks, highlighted by Governor Ron DeSantis's immigration policy skirmishes and the Trump Act, adds another layer to the relentless political drama.

    The thick plottens as I shift my focus to Facebook's contentious role in political censorship. With a reduction in fact-checkers and perceived bias toward right-wing narratives, the very fabric of democratic engagement is under scrutiny. Amidst these challenges, I discuss Trump's striking settlement with Meta, while I champion Blue Sky as the rising alternative for Democrats seeking unfiltered connection. Standing firm against misinformation and censorship is crucial, and I invite you to join this critical dialogue to safeguard our democracy’s future.

Let's sift through these tumultuous stories while keeping our eye on the ever-turning political wheel.

    In the midst of chaos, unity becomes not just a goal but a necessity.
