Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025

Today, Hegseth moves the goalposts again saying they couldn’t see the two survivors they blew out of the water with a second strike; at least 11 Indiana Republicans were met with threats after refusing to redistrict; the Trump administration has fired 8 immigration judges in New York; Costco is suing Trump for tariff refunds ahead of the Supreme Court ruling; Republican Darrell Issa is thinking about moving to Texas after being drawn out of his California district; Trump promised a crime crackdown in San Francisco but he’s doing the opposite; the DOJ is about to do something really stupid so get your popcorn; and Allison and Dana read your Good News.

Good Trouble
For any Michigan listeners - There is currently a petition to implement Ranked Choice Voting here in the state. This is a great idea that will better represent the preference of the voters in our elections.
To sign the petition, go to rankmivote.org and click “Where do I sign?”. I found a signing event 3 blocks from my office happening the same day. So easy.
