News Roundup: Groks and Bills and Alligators

...oh my.

Daniel and Jack talk about the latest lunacy with Musk and Grok, The Big Beautiful Bill, social murder, the expansion of ICE, recent SCOTUS rulings and the assaults on trans rights and birthright citizenship, Alligator Alcatraz, the horrifying flash floods in Texas and the cuts to the National Weather Service, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Big content warnings for this one.  Lots of dead children in here.  Because that's the news in July 2025.
