This week on The Final Word, the receipts are dropping like confetti at a scandal parade. The Epstein files reveal emails where Jeffrey Epstein himself wrote that “of course Trump knew about the girls.” The House Oversight Committee released three emails that suggest Trump was well aware of Epstein’s crimes involving young women—and yet, whispers swirl about whether he’s considering a pardon for Ghis...

Racists are feeding AI slop to social media to exacerbate racial animus and continue to pit poor people against other poor people.

Trump is two-faced and The US Treasury has shared a draft of a coin to commemorate that.

Kristi Noem bought many concepts of a plane from Spirit Airlines.

Norman Rockwell's estate is fed up with Trump's people co-opting his paintings to push, you guessed it, racism.

This week on The Final Word, the voters said “Not today, Satan—and not in 2028 either.” Democrats swept elections across multiple states, flipping governorships, legislative chambers, and ballot measures like it was a clearance sale on common sense.

California passed Proposition 50 with a strong 64%—giving Democrats the power to redraw five congressional districts in response to Republican gerrymandering. Because if you’re gonna pla...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re asking the question that should’ve been screamed from the rooftops: Why are top Trump officials moving onto military bases like it’s Camp MAGA? Is this a relocation or a rehearsal for something we should be worried about?

Then we dive into the Great Gatsby-themed party Trump threw on the eve of SNAP benefit cuts. Because nothing says “Let them eat cake” like flappers, foie gras, and 42 milli...

This week on The Final Word, we’re asking the real question: How do you “find” $5.3 billion for troops but let 42 million Americans go hungry?  It’s giving “We support the troops, but not the people who feed them.”

The Congressional Budget Office says the shutdown could cost us $14 billion in permanent economic damage if it drags through November. Meanwhile, SNAP benefits are set to lapse for the firs...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we’re serving up a hot plate of “What in the actual hell?” with a side of “You can’t make this up.”

First up: billionaire Timothy Mellon gave the Pentagon $130 million to pay troops during the shutdown. Sir, are we crowdfunding the military now? Is this GoFundMe for guns?

Then, a group declaring themselves to be “Black people for White supremacism” decided to roll up to an HBCU during homecoming. S...

This week on The Final Word, the streets are speaking and the message is loud: No Kings. From Paris to Pittsburgh, citizens are mobilizing like it’s a global Beyoncé tour—but instead of glitter, it’s righteous rage and cardboard signs that slap.

Then we get into the man Trump pardoned for his January 6th role—who allegedly turned around and threatened to kill House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. So much for rehabilitation. It’s ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, we ask the question nobody else will: What’s wrong with “No Kings”? Nothing—except it needs a movement, a soundtrack, and maybe a few indictments. We dive into David Brooks’ piece, America Needs a Mass Movement, and honey, we agree—but not the kind that comes with merch and a memo.

Then we get into Kash Patel: Did he ruin the FBI, or just p...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is fired up and breaking down the latest episode of “What Fresh Hell Is This?”

First, Trump signed a memo—yes, a memo—giving his administration expanded powers to repurpose unspent federal funds. We must’ve missed the part of the Constitution where laws get rewritten via sticky note.

Then, as the government shutdown drags into its third week, Trump’s threatening to permanently cut more “Democrat ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is coming in HOT because the chaos is nonstop and the nonsense is next-level.

First up—have y’all seen Trump lately? He’s mad about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, posting after-midnight ramblings that look like a cry for help wrapped in a typo, and making mysterious trips to Walter Reed that got us side-eyeing harder than ever. The vibes? Off. The spelling? Worse. The concern? HIGH.

First up, Trump “floated” invoking the Insurrection Act—because apparently court orders are just suggestions now. He wants to deploy the National Guard to Democratic cities like it’s a game of Risk, and Oregon Republicans are out here posting fake images to hype it up. Photoshop and foolishness, y’all.

Then we check in with Attorney General Pam Bondi, who showed up to a Senate hearing and gave nothing but insults and sneers. No answ...

Frangela is on FIRE this week, and Something Ain’t Right is bringing the heat because the chaos is coast-to-coast and coded in all kinds of wrong.

First up, we dive into the mess in Chicago, where ICE and federal agents are out here harassing, intimidating, and allegedly assaulting law-abiding citizens—especially people of color. It’s not enforcement, it’s terror tactics. And we’re not staying silent.

Then we ask: what’s really up wi...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is here to break down the madness with the clarity, sass, and side-eye you need to survive this hostile government takeover.

First off—yes, the U.S. government is closed. Trump and the GOP refused to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies, and Democrats finally said “enough.” We unpack what a shutdown really means, what it could mean, and what Trump wants it to mean (spoiler: it’s not good).

Then, ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is over it. Like, deep sigh, long stare, “is this real life?” levels of over it.

First up, the Trump administration is working overtime to roll back enforcement of fair housing laws. Because apparently, making it harder for people to live with dignity is the new national pastime. We break down the policy, the impact, and the audacity.

Then, in a twist of global generosity that smells like ...

Welcome back to The Final Word, where Frances and Angela are holding it down on Earth One—because somebody has to make sense of this mess.

We kick off with Donald Trump’s “deranged” performance at the United Nations General Assembly. It was less diplomacy, more open mic night at a conspiracy convention. From Ukraine maybe taking extra territory to science being whatever he feels—we’re unpacking the chaos, the cringe, and the consequ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is taking you on a world tour of wrongness—and asking why the biggest stories on the planet are getting buried like your cousin’s mixtape.

First up, Gen Z in Nepal said “not today, patriarchy” and overthrew their government, installing the country’s first female Prime Minister. That’s historic, revolutionary, and somehow... barely a blip in the headlines. We see you, young people. And we ...

This week on Idiot of the Week, the foolishness is so potent, we’re convinced these folks woke up and chose chaos. Frangela is here to crown the dumbest of the dumb, and trust us—this week’s contenders did not come to play.

First up, four hikers in the Catskills decided to trip while tripping—on magic mushrooms. Spoiler alert: nature didn’t vibe with their vibe, and they had to be rescued. That’s not a spiritual journey, that’s a ta...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is cutting through the noise with razor-sharp truth and zero tolerance for the madness. Because when the headlines read like dystopian fiction, somebody’s gotta say it out loud.

We begin with the deeply disturbing story out of Mississippi, where two men—one a Black student at Delta State University, the other a white unhoused man—were found hanged on the same day. The silence around these deaths...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is here to break down the madness with truth, wit, and a whole lot of side-eye—because the world is showing out and we are not letting it slide.

First, we talk about the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. Let’s be clear: how he died was abominable and wrong. But the right’s response? Vicious, performative, and dripping with irony. Suddenly, the folks who cheer on political violence are clutc...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
