Summary
The Supreme Court threw out the final Trump lawsuit challenging the results of the 2020 election, and also paved the way for Trump’s taxes to be disclosed to a New York Grand Jury.
The US is behind other countries in our ability to sequence and track COVID variants, but the White House announced they would devote $200 million to expanding those efforts and there’s even more in the upcoming economic relief package. In the UK, prime Minister Boris Johnson is hoping to slowly ease out of lockdown, with a plan to reopen schools on in two weeks.
And in headlines: officers in Colorado didn’t have a legal basis for frisking and restraining Elijah McClain, Virginia will become the first Southern state to end the death penalty, and a new podcast from Obama and Springsteen.

| 0:00.0 | It's Tuesday, February 23rd. I'm Achila Hughes. |
| 0:09.2 | And I'm Gideon Resneck and this is what the day where we are still seeking sponsorships from FDA approved vaccine brands. |
| 0:14.4 | Yeah, if you guys are just thinking about giving us some little needles with the vaccine and some instructions on how to use it, |
| 0:20.4 | we will be happy to pass that on to the audience. |
| 0:23.0 | Mm-hmm. I'm going to do a PSA where I have two of the spot-nicks in each arm. |
| 0:27.6 | Well, you can take that one. |
| 0:29.9 | Oh, ha. |
| 0:36.3 | On the day show, what the FDA is saying about booster shots and the UK's plan to get out of lockdown, then some headlines. |
| 0:41.9 | But first, the latest. And we'll start with a couple of L's that Trump was handed yesterday by the Supreme Court. |
| 0:46.7 | Number one, the election that never ends has finally come to an end as Skoda says rejected all of Trump's lawsuits challenging it. |
| 0:52.6 | Hopefully next week Sunday shows will refrain from having Republicans on who are still denying Trump's loss now that his |
| 0:57.7 | idiotic attempts at overthrowing the election are through. We're looking at you, Steve Skleys. Get a hobby. |

| 1:11.4 | He wanted to weigh in on the Pennsylvania case, even though it would not have changed the outcome of the election. |
| 1:16.3 | But would have made clearer who has the final say on legal changes made to election laws. |
| 1:20.4 | He said as much in his dissent and he was joined by two other justices, but majority rules and dumb lawsuits drew like us. |
| 1:26.6 | Yeah, that's what I learned from schoolhouse rock. And then there was another L that you were talking about. |
| 1:30.4 | What happened there? Yeah, okay. So the bigger L, it was that Skoda's basically paved the way for Trump's mysterious and |
