This morning, we’re diving into the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, just days after Trump publicly said Attorney General Pam Bondi should prosecute him (and other political adversaries). What a coincidence, right? 🙄 We always knew Trump was petty, but this is next-level ridiculous. Once again, he’s proving that in his world, loyalty matters more than the law, and anyone he deems “disloyal” will be punished. What does this mean for our justice system, and how much further can this circus go? We're joined by attorney Glenn Kirschner and lawyer, political commentator, and podcaster Katie Phang to break it all down. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

The government shutdown looms, and the White House has instructed federal agencies to prepare mass firing plans in case Congress can’t strike a deal. So, does MAGA actually want a shutdown? Do they care about the hundreds of thousands of people who could lose their jobs and livelihoods? From where we’re standing, it sure doesn’t look like it. Let’s break down what this means for workers, the economy, and the future of our democracy. This episode is sponsored by ZBiotics.

Then, we pivot to the horrific breaking news of the latest mass shooting at an ICE facility, where several detainees were shot. Almost immediately, Trump and his MAGA base rushed to frame this as another case of “left-wing violence," but conspiracy theories are already flooding the internet. What are the actual facts, and what could this mean moving forward? You won’t want to miss this one. This episode is brought to you by Ollie. Take the online quiz and introduce Ollie to your pet.
