Winning The Fall (feat. Simon Rosenberg)

Tuesday, September 30th, 2025

Today, the Republicans are poised to shut down the government at midnight as Trump and Kegseth meet with flag officers in Quantico after deploying the National Guard to war ravaged Portland; Portland threatens to evict ICE out of the detention facility over permit violations; the village of Broadview in Chicago has opened a criminal investigation into ICE attacks on a reporter; Obama appointee Judge Simon in Oregon has called for an emergency hearing to consider the restraining order filed to block Trump’s deployment of the National Guard; the ICE agent that slammed the woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza has been returned to duty; Eric Adams has dropped out of the New York mayoral race; the FBI has taken over the investigation into the Michigan LDS church shooting; Alex Soros says of Trump’s investigation into the Soros foundation that they would back down over his dead body; Steven Miller played a key role in the attacks on Venezuelan boats; Moldova’s pro European Union Party wins a decisive victory despite Russian interference; Bad Bunny will be playing the Super Bowl Halftime show in February; and Allison and Dana deliver your Good News.
