This episode is all about the passing of Pope Francis, who passed away after a battle with pneumonia.

A group of Senators has been denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Harvard is suing Trump, the market continues to give us a stomachache, and - will Trump stand by Pete?

Thursday’s FSU shooting leads an episode that also covers the state of deportations in America, another Signal group chat, and a very special Easter message.

This short episode is all about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

As the president attacks free speech and makes a constitutional crisis worse, Harvard is standing up like no one else. Plus, an earthquake in San Diego and an attack on Ukraine.

A weekend of heavy news, including escalating tariffs, escalating violence, and escalating attacks on the First Amendment and the rule of citizenship in this country. But at the end, there is a reminder that there is still so much left to fight for.

A tragic helicopter crash, a seismic shift for immigrants with temporary legal status, new questions about financial misconduct in high places - and, naturally, yet another governor launching a podcast.

As the tariffs roller coaster continues, the Pentagon recommends we don’t do strikes in Mexico, RFK Jr doesn’t know the programs he cut, SCOTUS sides with Trump, the AP wins a First Amendment fight, and hey - is that your cocaine?

Immigration fights continue, the markets cool off, coal makes a weird comeback, and a nightclub collapse sparks international heartache. But hey, at least Madonna and Elton John are friends again.

Let’s take it as easy as we can, but just two (big) stories.

Another weekend of deathly weather as another child dies from measles in Texas and the Secretary of State is revoking all South Soudances passports. All good reasons to protest - which the country did on Saturday.

As the world reacts to Trump’s tariffs and a woman too racist for Marjorie Taylor Greene buddies up to Trump, Brown University may see a grant funding freeze, Dr. Oz is in charge of Medicare and Medicaid, Eric Adams is an Independent, and the Pentagon is investigating Pete Hegseth.

Wednesday was Liberation Day, and it was as bad as we predicted, but hey, at least Elon Musk is being sued. Plus, Eric Adams has had his charges dropped, the government is seeking the death penalty for Luigi, and Mke Waltz has so many group chats.

Tuesday was Election Night in a few key races, so let’s talk about them and the magic of a good Senate filibuster.

An update about the missing soldiers in Lithuania, Trump’s impending tariffs, the government’s threat to Harvard and libraries, and Trump has been denied more deportations all in today’s episode.

The president wants to run for a third term, Elon Musk is trying to buy an election, the FCC is investigating companies for being too inclusive, and ICE is violating court orders to detain people for their political speech.

As the Supreme Court issues a ruling on ghost guns and Trump unveils a controversial new plan for addressing homelessness, USAID is ending an international vaccine program, a panel has upheld a ban on deportations, and there are new developments in the Yemen group chat saga.

This episode covers three major stories—more fallout from the Yemen group chat, a shocking admission from Trump about the planes to El Salvador, and an executive order threatening your right to a free and fair election—plus one small correction.

Three big stories need your focus: a shocking leak at the DOJ, another judicial attack from the Senate, and a continued assault on the right to protest. Not great!

Two weekend shootings lead the news, along with an attempted attack at a Tesla protest, Canada’s snap elections, a possible British reconciliation, student loans, Musk didn’t get the China briefing, and a dose of hope from AOC and Bernie.
