Today we’re looking at what could be the start of a major unraveling—for three powerful men. First up, Shannon Sharpe, who’s stepping back from ESPN following sexual assault allegations that have sparked serious backlash and raised even more serious questions. Then there’s Donald Trump, whose approval ratings are in freefall, his lowest since taking office, and he hasn’t even hit the 100-day mark. Voters are growing restless, and the MAGA glow might finally be wearing off. And last but definitely least, Pete Hegseth, whose ongoing Signal scandals and Pentagon dysfunction are turning “incompetence” into an actual national security risk.
