Lovett or Leave It

Trump makes America an offer we can refuse at the Republican midterm convention; Zohran Mamdani reminds Rudy Giuliani who the actual mayor of New York is, and Anthropic shrugs its shoulders at the end of the world. 
This week, Katie Porter looks back at her campaign for governor, before reading Lovett for filth. Larry Wilmore keeps it 100, and then some. The Rant Wheel steers us through the choppy waters of giant strollers, billionaire taxes, and calling Trump stupid, and we double down on our Second Thoughts.

Paula Poundstone seizes control of the show, and our audience couldn’t be more thrilled. The Rant Wheel spins us through inconsiderate trail users and constantly having to have things to rant about! And we take a final bow with Second Thoughts.
