There Is No Asterisk
This one’s all about the birthright citizenship case. Where things stand now, how we got here, and why Trump took up the case at all.
Kid Rock. That Dude Dumb.
Three stories, and they’re all testing my patience as Kid Rock gets Army pilots suspended, then unsuspended, and Trump’s ballroom construction is on hold as mail-in voting is on notice.
Retroactive Jingle in Their Pocket
Gulf allies push Trump to escalate the Iran war as U.S. casualties mount, ICE plans a controversial presence at a Marine graduation, TSA workers receive delayed pay amid a shutdown standoff, and Kid Rock sparks an investigation with a bizarre helicopter stunt.
Some Little Chitty-Chats
Iran issues chilling warnings, and TSA agents hope to get paid today, but ICE isn’t leaving airports anytime soon. Plenty of reasons for 9 million to have turned out in protest last weekend.
We’re a Cashless Society Anyway, You Dorks
Trump has thoughts on Sharpie prices while he signs an executive order to try and get TSA agents paid (don’t worry, the Senate’s actually working on it), and the IOC just banned trans female athletes.
Good Food, Good God, Let’s Eat
Deadly U.S. strikes with no evidence, a worsening shutdown, another shaky case against Letitia James, a major loss for Meta, and new revelations that Donald Trump shared classified information.
That’s a Human Adult!
Trump got a secret gift from Iran, Epstein business partners’ depositions drop, Meta was fined $375M, Minnesota sued the administration, and a Democrat flipped a deep-red Florida seat in Trump’s own district.
I’m Going to Give Myself the Credit
Trump’s Iran claims clashed with reality, ICE showed up in airports, deadly plane crashes hit New York and Colombia, the Supreme Court eyed new voting limits, and Robert Mueller died at 81.
Why Didn’t You Tell Me About Josh Harnett?
The U.S. moves closer to striking Iran as Trump faces backlash over conflicting military messaging, a prolonged National Guard presence in D.C. could be on the way, Congress fights over Epstein files, Comey is once again subpoenaed in renewed Russia investigations, and a major media merger is raising concerns about local news (but it’s not the merger you’re thinking about).
She Sure Didn’t Gab …bard
As Congress grills a DHS nominee and our top national security officials, Iran eyes energy infrastructure, and bombshell allegations against Cesar Chavez rock the labor community.
Imaginations Conversations
As Cuba faces an islandwide blackout and things in Iran continue, the Supreme Court will take up two cases that have the potential to shape immigration in America; plus, RFK Jr’s vaccination change gets a thumbs down, and Susie Wiles is diagnosed with breast cancer.
Make Movies in Los Angeles
This one’s all about the latest in Iran, plus, the Midwest is about to get hit with a storm packed with all the weather ever.
Nice One, Team!
The Senate finally tries bipartisanship, while the war in Iran continues and here in the states two separate acts of violence are being investigated as terrorism.
On the Note of Soccer
Lots of updates on things in Iran, plus the government is still (a little bit) shut down.
Lindsey Graham Also Used to Be a Human Being.
As things in Iran continue just as clumsily as ever, an American consulate in Toronto is attacked, and a whistleblower has blown the whistle on a Social Security breach.
Dude’s Got Ethics for Dayz!
We’re Rihanna-heavy in this episode after the news that a woman has been arrested for attempting to murder her. Plus, Wyoming has banned abortions past around six-weeks, an update on Iran, two teens have been arrested for attempting to detonate bombs at Mayor Mamdani’s house, and another Republican leaves the party.
Ashton Kutcher Gave Me This Hat
Six U.S. servicemembers return home as Trump escalates the Iran conflict, violence erupts in Peru, tornadoes kill six in the Midwest, and Alabama prepares to execute a man who didn’t commit murder.
You Don’t Get to Be Flippant
We’re still in Iran, but at least Kristi Noem and Rep. Gonzalez are seeing some consequences for action. Plus, Britney Spears has been arrested.
You’re Not Gross
As the war in Iran continues on (with no pushback from Congress…), Pam Bondi gets served, and Biden’s in the clear.
That There Is a Purple State
It’s election night in (parts of) America. Plus, a mass shooter’s father is found guilty, Kristi Noem testifies, and we are still at war.
