Frangela: The Final Word

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 twi...

 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...

Hard-Headed America, Policy Whiplash, and Oval Office Nonsense—The Week in Chaos

This 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 ...

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.

Then, there’s a California city facing an exi...

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?

Then, we confront allegations of sexual ass...

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.

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 ...

This week on The Final Word, we break down Trump’s latest executive order, grandly titled Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy.

You understand how words work better than the folks who wrote this executive order.

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 payrol...

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 ...
