I Don’t Want to Talk About Popcorn
After a breakdown of the Department of Justice’s report on the Robb Elementary School shooting, this episode turns into a classic Friday show, including making fun of House Republicans (including Speakers past and present), feeling flames on the side of my face angry with other Congressional Republicans, and reminding you we can vote a bunch of em out.
The Laughs We Would Have...
Trump spends a few hours in court for his defamation case as Hunter Biden’s House contempt charge vote gets put on pause. Plus, an update on Gaza, Colorado’s Club Q shooter gets additional charges, and Russia’s Putin has… thoughts.

Trains Are Great!
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.

The Cackle Heard ‘Round the World

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.
