Summary

Michael Kosta dives into the cracks in Trump’s cabinet: DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is fired in the wake of ICE chaos, corruption accusations, and affair rumors, RFK Jr. makes enemies out of Dunkin’ and Starbucks, and Pete Hegseth finds time amid the war in Iran to focus on a pet project: stripping Scouting America of its wokeness. Plus, Jordan Klepper sucks up to Hegseth to earn the coveted “Bros Before Hoes” badge. Grace Kuhlenschmidt visits America's first car-free neighborhood development, accompanied by controversial "freedom fighter" and conspiracy theorist Katie Hopkins, to investigate the truth about increasingly popular 15-minute cities: Are they walkable utopias, or government-controlled prisons? Librarian, literacy advocate, and new host of “Reading Rainbow” Mychal Threets sits down with Michael to spread his love for libraries and discuss his new book, “I’m So Happy You’re Here: A Celebration of Library Joy.” Threets opens up about his mental health journey and the vital role libraries played in saving his life, and how his book is meant to convey the inclusivity of libraries while also telling readers that they are not alone in their struggles.
