A devastating earthquake hit western Colombia; Taylor Farms is recalling jalapeño products over salmonella; Trump is targeting childhood vaccine requirements; we learned about the elaborate way Trump was secretly moved during a NATO security threat; and Big Bear’s beloved Jackie the Eagle has died.

National Lazy Day - we’ll try again tomorrow.

The U.S. is running low on key weapons in the war with Iran, Trump is taking another swing at birthright citizenship, a Trump-connected law firm with little immigration experience got a $150 million contract to represent migrant children, the Senate held Dr. Fauci in contempt, Mike Lindell’s pillow giveaways may have violated campaign law, and Mitch McConnell is apparently home from rehab.

Cyberattacks disrupted water systems across several states, protections ended for hundreds of thousands of Haitian and Syrian immigrants, a North Carolina congressman dropped his reelection bid after an ethics investigation, New Mexico sued for the unredacted Epstein files, and Perez Hilton was hospitalized after a disturbing livestream.

A suspected arsonist was arrested as wildfires devastated Washington state, new reports blamed Southern California Edison for the deadly Eaton Fire, an armed man was arrested near Trump’s Los Angeles golf course, and Michigan voters delivered major primary wins for Jocelyn Benson and Abdul El-Sayed.

Just a short little episode as Michigan sees the first two deaths from Cyclosporiasis and it looks like Todd Blanche’s confirmation may actually happen now.

A mass shooting at an Idaho In-N-Out left two people dead, Trump paused planned strikes on Iran while claiming negotiations had resumed, deadly wildfires spread across Europe and Washington state, and Capital One said it closed Trump Organization accounts following an anti-money-laundering review.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a real episode!

I’ll be back tomorrow with a real episode!

A deadly earthquake in Japan, record-breaking fires across Europe and Oregon, and major developments involving Iran, Russia, and Lindsey Graham's funeral.

A mass shooting at a Seattle food festival left three people dead, Trump asked the Supreme Court to revive restrictions on mail voting, the administration obscured service member deaths connected to Iran, and questions continue to grow around Mitch McConnell’s prolonged absence.

The House passed another Iran war-powers restriction only for the Senate to reject it, the Education Department weakened protections against discriminatory school policies, Republicans referred Jack Smith for prosecution, new tariffs took effect, and the DOJ dropped subpoenas targeting New York Times journalists.

Trump threatened Iranian infrastructure while pursuing a nuclear cooperation deal with Saudi Arabia and considering military action in Mali, the House advanced a $1.15 trillion defense bill with $95 billion for the Iran war, and an independent autopsy left the cause of Noah Wells’ death undetermined.

The Iran war has already cost billions as American servicemembers continue to die, Tropical Storm Bertha threatens the Gulf Coast, a judge blocked the deportation of a witness to an ICE killing, and Republicans somehow dragged Olive Garden into their voter-ID crusade.

An attack targeted a federal building housing ICE offices in New York, a judge temporarily halted the proposed Paramount-Skydance and Warner Bros. merger, Trump announced new tariffs on Canadian goods, and the confusing Taylor Farms "false positive" story got a major clarification.

A mass shooting in Tucson left nine people critically injured, fighting with Iran escalated again, questions remain around the death of 18-year-old Nolan Wells, ICE killings and oversight drew renewed scrutiny, and Spain won the World Cup.

Things in Iran continue to be tenuous, while Trump makes waves at NATO, a building makes waves in Midtown, an ICE shooting in Houston sounds a little too familiar, and the Senate tumult continues.

A tragedy in Ohio leads the news, as Maine Democrats have a decision to make, Hamas makes an announcement, and the World Cup continues.

A Coney Island shooting leaves officials with no information, while extreme weather continues nationwide; Mallory McMorrow’s campaign is over; a deadly National Guard shooting leaves more questions than answers in Memphis; and when he’s not threatening a “really long speech,” Trump has now decided to ruin the World Cup.

It’s the 250th anniversary of this silly little experiment we’re running. But it’s also my Grandpa’s 99th birthday. So let me tell you some stories, including one about an underground missile, another about a carving of a sun, and most importantly, another about the world’s best grandparents.
