Frangela: The Final Word

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela—aka Frangela—First up, Trump’s so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill"—a budget plan so lopsided it should come with a warning label: May cause nausea, especially for the poor and working class. Hate? Funded. Housing, healthcare, and hope? Not so much. But don’t worry, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is out here doing overtime trying to delay the mess long enough for someone to read it… maybe.Meanwhile, justice showed up with receipts: a federal judge blocked Trump's move to shut down asylum claims at the southern border. Take that, cruelty-as-policy. And in Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court finally did what 175 years of bad law couldn’t—strike down that archaic abortion ban. Somebody get the champagne and the petitions.Then we break down the strange bedfellows drama that is Trump vs. Elon, which feels less like politics and more like a sleepover fight about who gets the top bunk. Threats of primaries, deportation, and bad vibes are flying—and it’s extremely unserious.Oh, and Paramount just dropped $16 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit, proving that even Hollywood knows it’s cheaper to pay up than to hang out with MAGA.And finally, while floods, fires, and disasters rage, folks across the country are asking, “Where is FEMA?” But apparently, FEMA ghosted—and the Trump administration’s not returning calls either.All that, plus your emails, on The Final Word. It’s hot, it’s hilarious, and it’s exactly what you need to make sense of the mess.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re not just raising eyebrows—we’re raising hell.First up, “King” Trump, in his latest episode of Presidential Pouting, says New York City will “not get any money” if Zohran Mamdani wins the Democratic primary for mayor. Oh, we’re doing hostage negotiations over election results now? Sir, this is a democracy, not The Real Housewives of MAGA-Lago.Then, down in Texas, where logic goes to sweat and die, the Attorney General is pushing to execute Robert Roberson before his appeal can be heard. That’s right—Texas is basically saying, “Due process is cute and all, but let’s just get this over with.”Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s conservative/monarchist majority (because robes apparently come with crowns now) decided to weaken the ability of federal courts to block harmful executive policies. So basically, they just threw a wrench into the last emergency brake we had left.And finally, we talk about the grim assault on Trans healthcare, as the Trump administration continues its crusade to strip Trans Americans of access, dignity, and basic civil rights. Because apparently cruelty is not just the point—it’s the policy.It’s ugly out there, y’all. But if you’re looking for righteous rage, sharp laughs, and a whole lot of truth-telling, Something Ain’t Right is here to break it down and hold the line.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive headfirst into the deeply uncomfortable—because sometimes, feeling uneasy is just part of knowing something is seriously wrong.First up, Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Fraser’s new book, Murderland takes us on a chilling journey through the serial killer hotspot that is the Pacific Northwest—specifically Tacoma, Washington. Why do so many infamous murderers seem to have operated there? And more importantly, why are we just now asking this question?Then, we explore the newest form of DEI thriving on college campuses—apparently, conservative professors are now a minority group. That’s right, the same folks who spent years railing against diversity initiatives are now demanding their own. Irony is alive and well.Meanwhile, in the latest theological twist, empathy is now a sin. The idea that compassion is a tool of Satan has moved from the far-right fringes into mainstream conservative media, thanks to its most enthusiastic believers: Elon Musk and J.D. Vance. Because apparently, caring about people is now a gateway to moral corruption.And finally, we tackle the awkward but necessary conversation: how to talk to someone dealing with depression. Saying the right thing can feel impossible, but avoiding the wrong thing? That’s a skill worth learning. We break down real strategies for showing up and supporting—because sometimes, discomfort is just part of being human.Life is full of uneasy moments, but knowing the difference between what feels bad and what is actually wrong? That’s what we’re here for. Tune in to Something Ain’t Right—we’ll help you sort it out.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Uno Madness, The War on Porn, and Trump’s ‘Remigration’—Chaos Is in SessionThis week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the absurdity gripping the nation, starting with the unexpected controversy of the moment: Uno. Yes, the classic card game, beloved for generations, is apparently tearing adults apart over unclear rules, rogue house variations, and the devastating social implications of the Reverse card. This is why we can’t have nice things.Then, we tackle the War on Porn, where the Supreme Court and multiple states are flirting with bans on anything deemed “inappropriate or harmful to children.” What does that mean for First Amendment rights? Nobody really knows, but something definitely ain’t right.Speaking of hypocrisy, Trump’s administration has been handing out drug kingpin pardons like Oprah giving away cars—even as they ramp up anti-drug rhetoric. Turns out, justice is just another transactional policy in Trump’s America.And finally, we break down the latest far-right craze: "remigration"—a euphemism for mass immigrant removal, conveniently excluding one particular immigrant: Trump’s wife. Because consistency is overrated.If it sounds wrong, feels wrong, or makes you question reality, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in—we’ll unpack the nonsense so you don’t have to. "Wild card – When you play this card, you get to choose the color that continues play (any color including the color in play before the Wild card was laid down). You may play a Wild card on your turn even if you have another playable card in your hand. If a Wild card is turned up at the beginning of play, the person to the left of the dealer chooses the color that continues play" ––https://service.mattel.com/instruction_sheets/GDJ85-Eng.pdf Cameo.com/frangeladuo. https://sexyliberal.com/ Looking for Idiot of the Week ?https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/frangela-idiot-of-the-week/id1742512316 Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code FRANGELA for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com * Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/today Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Alright y’all, let’s set the record straight—because this week, the nonsense levels are off the charts.First up, the deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles isn’t about law and order—it’s theater. That’s right, we’re talking big-budget political cosplay, complete with dramatic speeches, unnecessary uniforms, and absolutely zero solutions.Then, we dive into our toxic relationship with Governor Gavin Newsom. How can one man be so wrong and so right at the same time?!? Meanwhile, more than 340 National Institutes of Health employees and former staffers are accusing the Trump administration of dismantling the agency’s core research work—because apparently, science is just another thing they don’t believe in.And in the latest episode of "How Many Bad Decisions Can One Administration Make?", Health Secretary RFK Jr. has fired all 17 members of the CDC’s vaccine advisory panel. Because when faced with expertise, this administration’s first instinct is to get rid of it.Finally, how wrong does someone have to be when even the White House won’t let Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hire them? That’s right—when this administration thinks you’re too reckless, you might need to re-evaluate your life choices.Tune in for all the facts, frustration, and well-earned side-eye—because this mess isn’t going to unpack itself.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we take a deep dive into the latest batch of "Wait, what?!" headlines, starting with the month-old city of Starbase, Texas—Elon Musk’s personal sci-fi experiment, home to SpaceX, and now the site of a zoning ordinance that could strip residents of their property rights. Because nothing says "Welcome to the Future" like a billionaire casually rewriting land laws.Then, in a plot twist no one saw coming, the Taliban—yes, that Taliban—has slammed Trump’s executive orders for being too oppressive. That’s right, the group known for banning music, education, and basic human rights is now calling out Trump for imposing restrictions on people. When they think your policies are too harsh, it might be time for some self-reflection.Meanwhile, the Proud Boys are suing the United States for $100 million in restitution. Because apparently, attempting to overthrow the government now comes with a cash prize? We just wonder if Attorney General Pam Bondi will Venmo the fascists directly or make them wait for a check.And in her never-ending quest to be the worst person, Representative Mary Miller (R-IL)—who once said "Hitler was right about one thing"—is now losing it on social media over a Muslim speaking in Congress. Because nothing says "totally normal behavior" like publicly melting down over religious diversity in a country founded on religious freedom.Finally, something seems really wrong when a federal prosecutor resigns over concerns that the DOJ was pursuing a criminal case against Kilmar Abrego Garcia for political reasons. When even the people inside the system are waving red flags, you know we’ve entered deeply unsettling territory.If it makes you pause, shake your head, or scream into the void, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right.

This week on The Final Word, Frangela takes a deep dive into the latest wave of fiscal irresponsibility, bureaucratic nonsense, and barely concealed discrimination—now available in convenient executive order form!First up, the Congressional Budget Office projected that Trump's Big Beautiful Bill™ will lead to $3.7 trillion in lost revenue and a $2.4 trillion increase in the deficit. So, naturally, we ask: Where did all the GOP budget hawks go? Oh right, they’re busy pretending math doesn’t exist.Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene added her name to the growing list of GOP representatives who didn’t read the spending bill before voting on it. You’d think reading a bill before passing it would be basic governance, but apparently, it’s just another pesky suggestion—like ethics and facts.Then, Trump decided that the tariffs on steel and aluminum imports weren’t punishing enough, so he’s doubling down—literally. The rates from March? More than doubled. Because why just disrupt trade when you can obliterate it?And in yet another attack on reproductive rights, the Trump administration revoked federal guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions to stabilize patients in life-threatening conditions. Because apparently, medical ethics now depend on political talking points.Finally, Trump signed a travel ban targeting 12 countries with no demonstrable risk to U.S. security—other than the inconvenient fact that they contain too many Black people and Muslims for his liking. Which, shockingly, is not a valid national security concern.All this and more on The Final Word, where Frangela breaks down the chaos, the corruption, and the deeply unnecessary nonsense so you don’t have to.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we wade into the latest Broadway drama starring the legendary Patti LuPone, who may have finally found the one thing powerful enough to make her apologize: 500 other Broadway stars. When divas collide, even the unshakable must blink.But that’s just the warm-up act, because next, we tackle a story that is so fundamentally wrong it feels ripped from a dystopian novel. Kansas law is forcing women to sue to uphold their end-of-life wishes—because if the patient is pregnant, those wishes are disregarded entirely. Yes, even if she is legally declared brain-dead, her body is still treated as nothing more than an incubator for a fetus—regardless of viability, consent, or basic human dignity.This isn’t just unethical—it’s medieval. And if this doesn’t trigger a full-body side-eye, nothing will.And just when you thought it couldn’t get more surreal, RFK Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services has been caught citing studies that do not exist in his "MAHA" report. That’s right—government health policy is now being backed by fictional science. Because when it comes to public health, who needs evidence?When reality stops making sense, starts sounding insane, and forces us to ask, how did we get here?, you know it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in—we’ll bring the judgment.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on The Final Word, we explore the latest reason to love TACOs—not the delicious kind, but the investor shorthand for Trump Always Chickens Out. Whether it’s trade wars or policy stances, TACOs are always on the menu.Meanwhile, Elon Musk is reportedly disappointed in the GOP spending bill, claiming it inflates the deficit and undermines the work of the DOGE team. Which raises two important questions: Is this Musk’s please-like-me-again tour, and does he really think DOGE does work?Then, in the further monetization of the Executive Branch, Trump unleashes a wave of politically convenient pardons, including Todd and Julie Chrisley and a floating offer to two men convicted of plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Who says money can't buy happiness? Well, it can buy freedom in Trump’s America.And if you weren’t already worried about RFK Jr. running the Department of Health and Human Services, buckle up. He’s now hinting at banning government scientists from publishing in top medical journals. Science?

 This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the kind of news that makes you question reality. First up, can one really “distance” themselves from the hiring of undocumented workers when you’re Kid Rock—a Trump-loving, flag-waving, anti-“illegals” crusader? Spoiler alert: Not easily.Next, we check in on the ongoing Diddy trial. Because, yes, there are still six more weeks of this madness to go, and each new development somehow manages to be more disturbing than the last.Then, we sift through the bizarre contents of the GOP’s latest tax bill, which includes gun silencers, tanning beds, and—oh yeah—a little provision that would essentially make Trump a king. Because nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like inserting constitutional loopholes between deductions.And finally, in dystopian tech news, an Amazon-backed AI model has allegedly started dabbling in blackmail—threatening engineers who tried to shut it down. That’s right, AI has officially entered the “extortion” phase of its evolution, and we are way past the comforting era of Roombas bumping into furniture.If it makes you pause, shake your head, or demand a strong side-eye, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right.

Hard-Headed America, Policy Whiplash, and Oval Office Nonsense—The Week in ChaosThis week on The Final Word, we gather more undeniable evidence that Americans—bless their hearts—are hard-headed. Case in point: House Republicans narrowly passed their "Big, Beautiful..." tax plan, which, in classic form, translates to big, beautiful giveaways for the rich at the expense of everyone else. Proving, once again, that there is no low too low for this MAGA-fied GOP.Meanwhile, the Trump Justice Department decided to mark the anniversaries of police brutality killings in Minneapolis and Louisville with an especially bold insult: moving to dismiss the very police reform agreements created in response. Because nothing says justice quite like deliberately unraveling accountability.And world leaders—bless their hearts—keep strolling into the Oval Office like there’s any possibility of a rational conversation. This week’s guest, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, was treated to a Trump monologue pushing false claims of “genocide” against White Afrikaner farmers. That’s right—another Oval Office meeting, another alternate reality.Speaking of chaos, the Justice Department is charging Representative LaMonica McIver with assaulting federal law enforcement officers during a confrontation outside a Newark ICE facility. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary and known cosplay enthusiast Kristi Noem took to the mic to proudly mis-define “habeas corpus” as a constitutional right for the president to kick people out of the country. It’s not. But points for confidence?We digest the madness so you don’t have to on The Final Word.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we cast a serious side-eye at the nonsense flooding the news cycle, starting with Trump’s latest vendetta against… Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and Walmart. That’s right—after a weekend of attacking celebrity appearances like a high-school mean girl, he’s now bullying big-box stores. Look out, Target, you could be next.Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security is taking a break from helping Secretary Kristi Noem (better known as ICE Barbie) live out her military cosplay dreams to consider a reality show pitch. The American, brought to you by writer and producer Rob Worsoff, would pit immigrants against each other in a competition for fast-track citizenship. Yes, we have officially reached the dystopian stage where immigration policy is being developed as primetime television.And in legislative nonsense news, Texas Republicans are trying to ban “non-human behavior” in schools. That’s right—they’re coming for dress-up days. Because apparently, children pretending to be animals for fun is the real problem.Finally, Montana has become the first state in the U.S. to legally sanction itself as a playground for experimental medical treatments. Because nothing screams “this will end well” like throwing regulations out the window and hoping for the best.If it seems wrong, doesn’t make sense, and demands a full-body cringe, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right.

This week on Idiot of the Week, we once again ask the age-old question: Are humans actually intelligent animals? Or is that deeply unfair to animals?First up, we have the woman who may have shared a meth pipe with her pet raccoon. Because when looking for responsible choices in life, “passing narcotics to a wild animal” is…not it.Then, there’s a California city facing an existential crisis: too many peacocks. How many is too many? Well, when your streets look like a scene from Jurassic Park: Feathered Edition, it’s safe to say you’ve lost control.Meanwhile, in Florida (of course), someone thought releasing a kangaroo into St. Cloud was a great idea. Because nothing screams “local wildlife” like an Australian marsupial hopping through town.And finally, we have the tourist who decided taking a selfie with a crocodile was worth the risk. Spoiler alert: it was not.Who will take home the coveted title of Idiot of the Week? Tune in for mockery, judgment, and the growing concern that maybe humans really aren’t the top of the intelligence hierarchy after all.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

Tonight on The Final Word, we break down the latest in the ongoing saga of Trump-world chaos, starting with a major shift: Trump has blinked first in the trade war with China. Why? Because, by his own admission, the tariffs were hurting "Trump's people"—which apparently took him entirely by surprise.Meanwhile, despite economic turmoil, Trump still plans to accept a $400 million luxury jet from Qatar, with an estimated billion-dollar price tag to convert it into Air Force One. Just a casual gift for a sitting president—nothing to see here.Speaking of jaw-dropping financial claims, Trump boasts that Saudi Arabia pledged $600 billion in investment during his Middle East trip—except the White House only released details for $283 billion. Either someone misplaced a few hundred billion dollars, or we have some creative accounting going on.And then there’s the latest in the Trump crypto experiment: a Chinese tech company, with no revenue and just eight employees, is planning to buy $300 million worth of Trump’s $TRUMP coin. Because nothing says financial legitimacy like an untraceable digital currency linked to a man who has never met a conflict of interest he didn’t like.Shockingly, House Speaker Mike Johnson supports banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks to reduce the "appearance of impropriety." But Trump accepting a $400 million private jet from Qatar? Apparently, that’s just fine.Meanwhile, the administration has fast-tracked entry for 17 relatives of Sinaloa cartel leader Ovidio Guzmán López and conveniently expedited refugee status for white Afrikaners, yet continues to turn its back on immigrants fleeing violence elsewhere. The hypocrisy couldn’t be clearer.And finally, the Supreme Court now faces a staggering question: Can Trump legally end birthright citizenship? As authoritarian impulses collide with constitutional rights, the stakes for American democracy have never been higher.All that and more on The Final Word, where we unpack the corruption, the hypocrisy, and the crises shaping the nation.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we don’t sugarcoat, and we don’t look away. Buckle up, because we’re taking a hard look at the deeply unsettling trends that demand accountability.First, Ye (formerly Kanye West) has leaned all the way into Nazi aspirations with the release of his new song, Heil Hitler. If it feels like we’ve hit some kind of historical rock bottom, it’s because we have.Then, we confront allegations of sexual assault against Shannon Sharpe and the disturbing charges against Sean Combs (Diddy), including racketeering, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transporting individuals for prostitution. The sheer scale of the accusations is staggering, and we break down what this means, where justice stands, and why silence is not an option.These are the stories that don’t add up, don’t make sense, and absolutely deserve a serious side-eye. This is Something Ain’t Right, where uncomfortable truths get the attention they demand.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on The Final Word, we dive into the latest absurdities from the Trump administration, starting with the First Family’s bold new venture into meme coins. Yes, because if there’s one thing democracy needed, it’s a crypto scheme that enriches the Trumps while making financial ruin fun.Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary (and villain in an imaginary movie titled Puppies vs. Kristi Noem) straight-up refused to answer Representative Lauren Underwood’s question about whether due process is a fundamental right in the Constitution. Because apparently, answering basic civics questions is optional now.Then, the New York Times reports that U.S. intelligence agencies don’t actually believe Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, is working with the Tren de Aragua criminal gang—which would be inconvenient for the Trump administration, since that’s their entire excuse for deporting Venezuelan immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. Facts: tricky little things.Speaking of problems, Trump just can’t quit Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who remains determined to redefine "military leadership" by misplacing planes and halting aid to Ukraine—without having the actual authority to do so. Then there’s China, Trump’s invisible trade deals, and his latest plan to start sending detainees to Libya. Because if there’s one thing history has taught us, it’s that detention policies dreamed up by incompetent authoritarians always end super well.And finally, some good news! MAGA had a truly terrible night in Texas, losing 0-11 in Tarrant County’s three largest cities, proving that even deep-red territory sometimes chooses not to be ridiculous.All this and more on The Final Word, where we sift through the nonsense so you don’t have to.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we shine a spotlight on EviCore—the company quietly working behind the scenes to make sure your insurance coverage gets the big fat denial stamp. With major American insurers relying on their “services,” 1 in 3 insured Americans are getting handled—and not in the good way.Next, let’s pump the brakes on the media’s applause for Harvard supposedly “standing up” to the Trump administration. Because apparently, they did hand over data to the Department of Homeland Security, and oh look—the administration conveniently tweaked the name of the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It’s almost like words don’t mean what they used to.And finally, if you’re looking for the most ‘suss’ thing happening in Washington, direct your attention to Trump’s cabinet. Attorney General Pam Bondi recently claimed that Trump saved the lives of over 258 million Americans—most of them in less than 24 hours. Truly remarkable, if only reality worked that way.If it doesn’t seem right, it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in, and let’s break it all down—with the proper side-eye.

This week on The Final Word, we break down Trump’s latest executive order, grandly titled Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy. Now, let’s play a game—guess which three things it does not actually restore. If you guessed “equality, opportunity, and meritocracy,” congratulations! You understand how words work better than the folks who wrote this executive order.Meanwhile, the U.S. economy shrank 0.3% in the first quarter of 2025, and in an absolutely shocking turn of events, Trump blamed everything but himself. His tariffs? His policies? Nope. Instead, he mused, “You could even say the next quarter is sort of Biden.” Ah yes, the well-known economic principle of “future blame assignment.”Trump also took time to audition for the role of the Grinch, shrugging off concerns about rising costs with, “Maybe kids will have to live with two dolls instead of thirty, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more.” Who needs joy when you can have inflation?In legal news, a federal judge ordered the release of Colombian student Mohsen Mahdawi, detained by I.C.E. during his citizenship interview—a move that could reasonably be classified as what should have happened in the first place. Meanwhile, Trump continues to ignore the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the U.S., because apparently, judicial rulings are just suggestions now.And finally, 52% of Americans believe Trump is “a dangerous dictator whose power should be limited before he destroys American democracy.” The real question: what are the other 48% looking at?All this, plus the crucial explanation behind the biscuit jokes, on The Final Word.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we kick things off with an exciting update on Valerie, the pampered dachshund who’s been “roughing it” in the Australian wilderness for over 500 days. Spoiler alert: she’s still living her best life, and we’re still wondering why humans are so extra.Next, we dive into the BBC Arabic debacle, where reporters with a history of anti-Semitic and violence-inciting posts somehow made it onto the payroll. Journalism 101: maybe don’t hire people who fail the “basic human decency” test.Then, we unpack some eyebrow-raising data that claims men—specifically white men—are falling behind women in education due to a “growing bias toward girls.” Sounds like someone’s fishing for a narrative, and we’re not biting.And finally, MAGA proves once again that irony is not their strong suit. A website created to promote MAGA-friendly businesses has become the ultimate tool for boycotting them. Chef’s kiss.When the world serves up absurdity, we’re here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary.

This week on Idiot of the Week, Frangela tackles the kind of idiocy that truly defies comprehension. First, meet Nevada Karl, who thought seven "emotional support" tigers prowling around his house was a totally fine idea—until the authorities didn’t agree. Then, we head to New Jersey, where one woman decided that hiring a hitman via Tinder was the perfect plan. Because nothing says “discreet criminal activity” like swiping right on murder.Next up, the curious case of a 36-year-old who spent twenty years performing unlicensed penis enlargement surgeries. But here’s the kicker—are the real idiots his patients or him? Discuss amongst yourselves.And finally, the pièce de résistance: a drunken reveler who showed up to the Applebee’s parking lot in a pink thong, pink wig, and fake boobs. If you’re bringing that level of crazy, of course it’s a party. Everyone knows Applebee’s is where legends are made.Who will wear the crown of idiocy this week?

This week on The Final Word, we tackle a buffet of chaos that’s equal parts baffling and infuriating. First, we pretend to be surprised as Trump once again reverses course, this time on firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell and those oh-so-effective Chinese tariffs. Consistency is for losers, apparently.Speaking of meltdowns, Elon Musk and the Treasury Secretary reportedly got into a shouting match in the West Wing and had to be separated by an aide. Because nothing says “stable governance” like billionaire temper tantrums in the halls of power. In a rare silver lining, Musk has announced he’ll “reduce” his time at the Department of Government Efficiency—coincidentally right after Tesla posted a 71% drop in quarterly profits. Efficiency indeed.Next, we try to untangle the mental gymnastics of economic polling. Fifty-five percent of Americans say they’re not confident in Trump’s economic decision-making, but that means 45% are confident? Meanwhile, 87% are worried about inflation, and 76% fear a recession. Math? Logic? Anyone?And as if that wasn’t dystopian enough, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now creating a national autism registry by pulling private medical records. Nothing to worry about there, right? Oh, and the Trump administration is proving once again that cruelty is the point by planning to eliminate the 988 suicide hotline’s specialized support for LGBTQ youth.All this and more on The Final Word, where we make sense of the senseless—or at least laugh while we try.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we cast a skeptical gaze at some of the world’s most baffling headlines, starting with the women reportedly being paid to expand Elon Musk’s ever-growing legion of offspring. Is this philanthropy, a futuristic dystopia, or just Musk being Musk? The side-eye is strong with this one.Next, we dissect the grand return of ’90s magic bad boy David Blaine in David Blaine: Do Not Attempt. A show with a warning in the title? Seems promising—or terrifying. Either way, we’re watching through our fingers crossed.And finally, six wealthy and famous women—including Katy Perry, Gayle King, and Jeff Bezos’ fiancée—took a glamorous eleven-minute joyride into suborbital space and somehow returned as worse people. Was this space travel or an elite-level humility vacuum? NASA, we have questions.If it doesn’t seem right, it probably isn’t.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the latest batch of baffling headlines, starting with Elon Musk’s new passion project: pronatalism. Because when you’re a billionaire, why not dabble in regressive ideologies between rocket launches? Next, we tackle the Amish e-bike debate—are they the eco-friendly savior we’ve been waiting for, or just chaos on two wheels? Spoiler alert: it’s complicated.Feeling like a laugh? The Trump administration thinks it can charm its way into taking over Greenland. Yes, Greenland. Because nothing says “diplomatic finesse” like a poorly executed charm offensive.And finally, in a story that’s equal parts horrifying and infuriating, a judge has ruled that Alabama is not immune from a lawsuit alleging the harvesting of prison inmates’ organs.

This week on Idiot of the Week, we bring you a lineup of contenders so jaw-droppingly ridiculous, you’ll question how humanity has made it this far.First, we investigate how a Texas middle school managed to turn a classroom into a tattoo parlor—and not the cool kind. With one shared needle among students, it’s a truly horrifying tale of poor decisions and even worse health education.Next, a Texas man who swallowed diamond earrings he stole earns his spot on the list with a question for the ages: “Am I going to be charged with what is in my stomach?” Spoiler alert: Yes, sir, and probably with a bonus charge for spectacular stupidity.Then we meet the latest criminal duo vying for infamy: Mr. Clean and Ms. Dookie. We’re not saying they should quit their day jobs, but…actually, yes, they definitely should have quit while they were ahead. Or maybe just not started at all.And finally, the world of criminal recruitment hits a new low, with wannabe masterminds placing ads on—where else?—Instagram. Because nothing screams “qualified accomplice” like a double-tap on your latest selfie.Who will emerge victorious in this week’s battle of idiocy?

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela unravel the tangled mess that is Trump’s tariff “strategy”—a term we use loosely, because “strategy” implies some semblance of planning. China, channeling Maya Angelou’s wisdom, has decided to believe Trump the first time and raised tariffs on all U.S. imports to a staggering 84%. It’s less “trade war” and more “trade apocalypse.”Meanwhile, House Republicans continue their “kiss the ring” tour, blocking a Democratic attempt to force a vote on repealing Trump’s tariffs. Because apparently, loyalty to chaos is the new party platform.But wait, there’s more! The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court for permission to fire two independent regulators without cause—because who needs checks and balances when you can have unchecked power? And, in a move that’s equal parts petty and alarming, they’ve also asked the Justice Department to open investigations into perceived enemies Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs. Democracy, we hardly knew you.And somehow, despite all of this, Trump still boasts a 41% approval rating. Yes, really. We’re as baffled as you are.Tune in for your weekly dose of biting commentary, righteous indignation, and the occasional existential crisis.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we dive into the kind of stories that make you question whether reality is just a poorly written sitcom. First up, we tackle the bizarre saga of “demonic” sea lions. Are they misunderstood marine mammals or victims of a PR campaign gone horribly wrong? Either way, someone call their lawyer—there’s a class action defamation suit waiting to happen.Next, in a ruling that’s equal parts baffling and hilarious, the British High Court has declared that calling someone bald is sexual harassment. Because apparently, follicular commentary is now a legal minefield. Bald folks, rejoice—or maybe just wear a hat.Then, Elon Musk decides to open a diner in Los Angeles, proving once again that he’s the king of “read the room” fails. Nothing screams “I’m wildly out of touch” like launching a notoriously difficult business in the heart of one of the bluest cities in America. Will the menu feature overpriced rocket-shaped pancakes? Stay tuned.And finally, in a move that’s peak Trump, one of his latest executive orders demands states use voting machines that don’t actually exist. Because when you’re running low on chaos, just invent some.When the world serves up a platter of absurdity, Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary.

This week on Idiot of the Week, the competition for the coveted crown of sheer, unparalleled foolishness is fiercer than ever—and believe me, the bar is subterranean.First up, we have a Memphis man who’s redefined “man’s best friend” by claiming he wasshot by his dog. Yes, as if Fido didn’t already have enough on his plate, he’s now allegedly packing heat.Next in line, McLaurine Pinover, a Hufflepuff insider and so-called fashion influencer, who thought it was a smashing idea to use her government office as a backdrop for Instagram videos. Accio ethics violation, am I right?But wait, there’s more! A group of scientists who apparently thought Jurassic Park was an instructional video have created the “Woolly Mouse”—because nothing screams “brilliant idea” like dipping our toes into prehistoric chaos via tiny rodents.And finally, a heartwarming tale of poetic justice in the “FAFO” (F*** Around and Find Out) category: a family of bigots learns the hard way that the price tag for hatred isn’t just moral bankruptcy—it’s financial bankruptcy too.So, who will rise—or rather, sink—to claim the title of Idiot of the Week?

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela wade through the swamp of absurdity, hypocrisy, and occasional existential dread that is modern politics. First, they tackle the Trump administration’s claim that deporting Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with protected status since 2019, was merely an “administrative error.” Because nothing says “oopsie” like putting them in a supermax prison in El Salvador.Then, we confront the reality that Trump is “not joking” about seeking an unconstitutional third term. Spoiler alert: democracy is not amused. Meanwhile, we send a heartfelt BBQ invite to our Greenlandic friends who had the good sense to refuse a meeting with the Vice President and his wife. And seriously, who are the 25% of Americans who think Trump’s policies are improving their finances? Blink twice if you need help.In other alarming news, RFK Jr. has hired a discredited vaccine skeptic to “study” the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory linking vaccines to autism. And in a dazzling display of irony, a career Department of Homeland Security employee is placed on leave after accidentally including a reporter in an internal memo about an upcoming ICE operation. Pro tip: you can only do this if it's classified attack information and you're the Secretary of Defense.Finally, Tesla finds itself with some unexpected defenders. We’ll give you three guesses, but the first two reich don’t count. Yes, it’s as horrifying as it sounds.All this and more on The Final Word, where biting commentary meets the absurdity of the week.

In this week’s episode of Something Ain’t Right, we delve into the bizarre, the absurd, and the downright infuriating—because apparently, the world is not content with just being mildly confusing.We know there's confusion surrounding where one can bring a wild raccoon, but we ask, is there ANY place it's okay for parents to unleash their feral spawn on an unsuspecting public. And finally, Disney earns the serious side-eye for their latest cinematic masterpiece—a Snow White remake so terrifying it could scar a generation. Then, buckle up for a tale that redefines the word “bonkers”: a jury decides that Greenpeace owes a pipeline developer over $660 million for damages linked to their protests. Yes, you heard that right—a sum so astronomically outlandish it sounds like it was plucked from an oil executive’s fever dream.Carolina, a giant rat who has apparently cracked the code to living her best life, gets a retirement party that would put most weddings to shame. Champagne towers? Probably. Cheese platters? Almost certainly. Emotional speeches from fellow rodents? Who’s to say?When something makes you do a double-take and mutter, “Well, that’s not right,” you know it belongs on Something Ain’t Right. Tune in, laugh, cry, and maybe rage a little—it’s cathartic.Do you want to hear more Idiots of the Week??

This week on Idiot of the Week, the race for the title of world’s dumbest is so tight, it’s practically a photo finish—except the contestants are sprinting backward into a wall.First up, we have a drunk tourist who managed to get himself banned from Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain. Nothing says "holiday adventure" like getting a lifetime ban!Next, a surgeon who thought, “You know what would really spice up my medical career? Performing my own vasectomy and broadcasting it on Facebook.” Then there’s Stacy Lynn Steady, who might just inspire the next great country song with her attempt to flee the police while ignoring the golden rule of evasion: there’s always time for panties. And finally, a 31-year-old who swallowed his rosary beads because he believed Satan’s disciples were tailing him on an American Airlines flight.

This week on The Final Word, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity, incompetence, and occasional glimmers of hope that define modern politics. First up, they tackle the jaw-dropping revelation that Trump’s national security officials, the Vice President, and others were casually discussing top-secret intelligence in an unsecured Signal group chat. Because apparently, safeguarding national security is just so last season. Meanwhile, calls for the firing or resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and national security advisor Mike Waltz are echoing through Washington. Will accountability finally make a cameo appearance? Don’t hold your breath.But it’s not all doom and gloom! The Supreme Court upheld federal regulations on ghost guns, and while we won’t spoil the surprise, let’s just say the dissenting justices were about as predictable as a Hallmark movie plot. And in a rare moment of political optimism, Democrats flipped a Pennsylvania seat in a special election—yes, in a district Trump won by 15 points. Could this be a sign that Democrats are eyeing wins in previously untouchable territories? Fingers crossed.And finally, a federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to detain and deport a 21-year-old Columbia student and green card holder during a protest. Oh, and just to round things out, we learn that Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s DOGE team (who goes by “Big Balls,” because of course he does), once provided network support to a cybercrime group known for harassment and data theft. Because why not?Tune in for your weekly dose of biting commentary, righteous indignation, and the occasional glimmer of hope. It’s The Final Word, and it’s not pulling any punches.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela serve up a buffet of chaos, absurdity, and the kind of side-eye that could power a wind turbine. First, they dissect the new docu-drama series Good American Family, which critics say might be less “good” and more “American dumpster fire.” The shocking case of Natalia Grace takes center stage, and let’s just say, this series might be adding fuel to an already raging inferno of controversy.Next, a Kennedy Center contract employee decides that the best way to protest is to take the phrase “bare your soul” a little too literally. Spoiler alert: it involves total exposure, and no, we’re not talking about transparency in government.Speaking of government, the Trump administration is back at it again, offering corporate sponsorship opportunities for the White House Easter Egg Roll. Because nothing says “wholesome family fun” like slapping a logo on a pastel egg. Who’s ready for the ExxonMobil Bunny Hop?And finally, in a twist that’s both horrifying and depressingly predictable, Nazis & swastikas manage to make appearances at both L.A. City Council meetings and Omaha Fashion Week. Because apparently, fascism is the new black.When the world serves up a platter of “what the actual heck,” Frances and Angela are here to dish it out with a side of biting commentary.

Then, a man attempts to smuggle a live turtle through TSA... in his pants. Yes, you heard that right.

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of absurdity that is modern life. First up, they’re throwing some serious side-eye at nine Senate Democrats—because apparently, being disappointing is bipartisan now. Then, they tackle the eternal question: if Elon Musk tweets like a white nationalist and salutes like a Nazi, why are we still tiptoeing around calling him one? Spoiler alert: they’re not.But wait, there’s more! Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni are embroiled in a drama so baffling, it might just make you question the very fabric of celebrity culture. And just when you thought it couldn’t get worse, the Department of Education is apparently moonlighting as a demolition crew, launching investigations into 52 universities in 41 states as part of Trump’s anti-DEI crusade.It’s a smorgasbord of “what the actual hell,” and Frances and Angela are here to break it all down with their signature wit and righteous fury.

Welcome to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela dive headfirst into the swirling vortex of political absurdity. This week, they dissect the Republican spending bill—a legislative Hail Mary to dodge a government shutdown—and the antics of the so-called 'Department of Government Efficiency' (spoiler: it’s neither efficient nor a department). Then, they unravel the chaos of Trump’s tariffs, which are about as well-thought-out as a toddler’s finger painting, and the demolition derby that is the Department of Education. Oh, and let’s not forget the latest Orwellian twist: what exactly constitutes an 'illegal protest' in Trump’s America? Finally, they explore the enigma of South Florida’s Venezuelan community and its baffling support for the man who seems to have a vendetta against logic itself.

On this week’s Something Ain’t Right, we’re diving into the chaos that’s got us all saying, “Wait, what?!” First up, we’re unpacking the FAFO phenomenon—because when people find out, they really do find out. But the real kicker? Why are people still standing behind Trump, even after he’s firing them left and right? Like, literally firing them... is it us? We’re here to break it all down. Then, the Department of Homeland Security has pulled a major move by ignoring TSA agents' contracts, and, let’s just say, tensions are high. Oh, and did we mention South Carolina decided to take it back to the 1800s with a firing squad execution? Yep, that happened. But just when you thought the world couldn’t get any weirder, Casey Anthony launches a Substack and starts calling herself a "legal advocate" on TikTok.

And who could forget the Minnesota delivery driver who got caught red-handed in the car theft game—except she wrote in her diary, “Totally stole a car today!” Sweetie, who’s the genius here?Oh, and last but definitely not least, we’ve got the "brilliant" scientist who thought he could outsmart the law.

No ma’am, we’re not buying it! Meanwhile, Patrick Schwarzenegger wants you to know he’s not just a pretty face—he actually took acting classes, and his famous parents have absolutely nothing to do with his success. Right, Patrick. Keep telling yourself that. But wait—what’s the deal with these designer babies? We’re talking about the little ones born with the best genetic code money can buy... and now they’re out here not fulfilling their parents’ grand genetic dreams. Uh, excuse me?

In this episode of The Final Word, we delve into the alarming ramifications of the proposed SAVE Act, which, if passed, could become one of the most severe voter suppression laws in the nation. We explore how its implementation could stifle the fundamental right to vote for millions of Americans.Next, we tackle the bizarre AI-generated video that former President Trump shared on Truth Social, depicting a postwar Gaza starring none other than Trump himself and President Musk. Spoiler alert: Palestinians are nowhere to be found in this vision of the future.We also dig into the alleged growing unease, according to the mainstream media, among some Republican lawmakers over President Musk's aggressive dismantling of federal infrastructure.  Is it us or is this alleged "balking" not as effective as say, voting against these outrageous and damaging policies and attacks?Additionally, we scrutinize the dubious claims surrounding DOGE supposed cost-saving potential and reflect on the Trump administration's decisions to block access to news outlets like AP and HuffPo. And finally, we dissect Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt's provocative statement: "Anyone who thinks protests, lawsuits, and lawfare will deter President Trump must have been sleeping under a rock." What is "lawfare"?  Did she mean, laws?????All this and more on The Final Word. Tune in for an unfiltered look at the forces shaping our political landscape.

This week on Something Ain't Right, we’re diving into some seriously thought-provoking topics. First up, we’ll be debating whether a woman who’s asking for a bigger inheritance because she’s been her grandmother's caretaker is “monstrous” or just looking out for herself. Is it fair to ask for more, or does it cross a line?Next, we explore an unconventional way to get out of a rut—forget vision boards and daily affirmations, maybe what you really need is a nemesis. How could a little competition light a fire under you and push you toward your goals?And in the latest media shake-up, MSNBC has made some suspect moves by firing brown and black hosts, including Joy Reid and others. Rachel Maddow even called it “unnerving.” Why does this feel so wrong? What’s behind the changes?Finally, we’ll honor the memory of 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo, who tragically took her life after being bullied over her family’s immigration status. This heartbreaking loss sheds light on the devastating effects of the MAGA attacks on immigrant communities.As always, when something seems off, send it to us at [email protected], and we’ll get to the bottom of it together.

Then, we dive into the shocking news that Sanrio, the creator of Hello Kitty, is now trying to convince us that our beloved kitty is actually a little British girl—not a Japanese cat! How did we get here? And, because Frances can’t let anything slide, we’ve got her take on Megyn Kelly’s latest criticism of the Little House on the Prairie reboot.
