Yes, there is some Trump Crime Update Time, but the big story I want to cover is about Brittany Watts.

Chris Christie is out of the race for president (was he ever really in it?), Hunter Biden shows up to his own trial, Trump can’t speak at his, and my attempt to stop a major piece of misinformation about the tunnel under a Brooklyn Synagogue.

The first Trump Crime Update Time of the year!

As the investigation into grounded Boeing 737 Max 9s continues, the National Weather Service has issued severe weather warnings, there was an explosion at a downtown Fort Worth hotel, and a private company’s moon landing appears to be doomed, all while Lauren Boebert continues to be precisely as on-brand as we’ve come to expect from her.

Congress has a budget framework, Alaska and United have grounded their 787 Max 9s, and let’s get clear about what the Epstein documents mean. Plus - The Golden Globes and personal news!

Congress has passed a defense spending bill, the Supreme Court has kept a weapons ban in place, and the last Trump Crime Update Time of the year!

A real bummer of a day for lovers of democracy, as the House officially approves the impeachment inquiry into Biden and Trump’s federal election stealing crimes cause gets put on pause.

Today is all about updates on both the Israel-Hamas war and Ukraine funding.

The main story here is the heart-wrenching story of Kate Cox, but a little Trump news broke as well. 

After an unplanned day off on Friday, we’re covering Hunter Biden’s incitements, the latest in a Texas abortion rights case, Tennessee’s deadly tornados, and a new ruling on Trump’s ever-evolving gag order.

Two shootings at UNLV and in Texas, the death of Norman Lear, and a reminder that Trump’s second term would be an endless dictatorship all make for a serious show. But don’t you worry- Kevin McCarthy is leaving office and that’s… hilarious.

In addition to news about Monday’s explosion in Virginia, Trump’s NY civil trial included a video element, the Senate is setting records (in a bad way), Tommy Tuberville is abhorrent, and Marjorie Taylor Green loves (but does not understand) the 27th Amendment.

After a very serious start to the episode covering mass shootings in America, an update on the Israel-Hamas war, and a storm in the PNW, the comedy stylings of John Letterman and George Santos are here to lighten things up.

So much news broke on Friday! Fighting has resumed in the Israel-Hamas war; Georgie Santos lost his job, Newsom and DeSantis debated (for some reason), Justice Sandra Day O’Connor died, and Trump (and all future presidents running for a second term) can be sued when acting as candidates.

Henry Kissinger is dead, Santos is no fan of grammar and Senate Republicans are no fan of ethics, plus - Trump Crime Update Time.

It’s a slow news day, but Elon has a message for advertisers leaving Twitter, two AZ GOP election supervisors are facing charges for election fraud, George Stanton, Mike Johnson, and Kevin McCarthy continue to be embarrassing. Plus: Kelly Clarkson hosted a Christmas tree.

An Akron police internal investigation wraps up, construction workers in India are rescued, and the GOP is really having a day as previews of Liz Cheney’s book come out, Koch endorses Haley, parts of Pence’s conversation with Jack Smith are revealed, and George Santos inches closer and closer to a spot on The Masked Singer.

A four-day pause in fighting in the Israel-Hamas war, Speaker Johnson wants George Santos to know he has options, and the Portland teacher’s strike is over.

Not quite a packed show, but still some big stories as we cover the Israel-Hamas War, some classic #TwitterDrama, and tragedy at Taylor Swift’s Brazilian tour. 

This episode is all about the 8th Circuit Court’s decision about the Voting Rights Act.
