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...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is bringing the heat, the receipts, and the clarity you need to cut through the chaos. We’re not here to play—we’re here to break it all down with intelligence, insight, and a whole lot of truth.

We begin with the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University. The media calls him a “conservative activist,” but we’re digging deeper into the rise of political violence and the dangerous ...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is serving up a full plate of “what in the actual hell” with a side of righteous rage and a sprinkle of petty.

First up, we cast the longest, deepest, most ancestral side-eye at the MAGA influencers who are out here trying to rehabilitate Hitler’s image. Yes, you heard that right. They’ve gone from rewriting history to straight-up auditioning for villain origin stories. We are not here fo...

We begin with the powerful press conference held by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at the Capitol. These courageous women stood tall, reclaimed their voices, and demanded real accountability from lawmakers. It was raw, it was righteous, and it was long overdue.

Then we turn our gaze to Health Secretary RFK Jr.—aka Brain Worms—who got absolutely grilled by the Senate. More than 1,000 current and former HHS employe...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is side-eyeing so hard we might sprain something. The foolishness is flying fast, and we’re here to catch every last bit of it.

First up, Trump’s federal workforce cuts are looking real targeted—and not in a subtle way. Black women are being pushed out like it’s a clearance sale on competence, and we’re not about to let that slide. When your “restructuring” looks like a purge, something a...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is grieving, raging, and refusing to let the madness slide under the radar. We begin with the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, where 23-year-old Robin Westman fired through church windows, killing two children and injuring seventeen others. And right on cue, the “thoughts and prayers” brigade dusts off their empty platitudes while doing absolutely nothing to stop the violence....

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is serving up the truth with a side of side-eye so strong it might cause whiplash.

First, we roll up to Douglas Dietrich’s front yard, where he’s decided to go full xenophobic with a sign asking Trump to deport his neighbors. Yes, you read that right—he skipped the dog whistle and went straight to the bullhorn. We’ve got questions, but mostly we’ve got judgment.

Then we head to California,...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is breaking down the latest chapter in the Trumpian fever dream, and honey, it’s giving full dystopia with a side of delusion.

First up, the Texas House passed a redistricting bill so gerrymandered it might as well come with a MAGA loyalty oath. And just to make sure democracy stays gagged and bound, the House Speaker ordered 24-hour surveillance on Democrats courtesy of the Department of Public...

This week on Something Ain’t Right, Frangela is back with the receipts, the rage, and the righteous laughter—because the nonsense is coming in hot.

First up: a Minnesota teen says a restaurant server demanded she prove her gender in the bathroom. We don’t know what kind of twisted gender TSA this fool thought they were running, but we do know this—something ain’t right when your waffle comes with a side of discrimination.

Then we unp...

This week on The Final Word, Frangela is serving up a piping hot plate of truth with a side of “what fresh hell is this?” as the Trumpocalypse rolls on. First up: those “Liberation Day” tariffs are hitting harder than a bad perm—Yale Budget Lab says we’re all about to cough up an extra $2,400 this year. Thanks, economic freedom!

Meanwhile, Ambassador Pete Hoekstra dusts off his VHS of South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut and goes ...

First up, we’re dialing into Trump’s latest obsession: the National Guard hotline. Why is the ex-president suddenly in love with camo-clad muscle, and what does it mean for D.C.? Spoiler: it’s more than just a flex.

Next, we unpack his escalation of attacks on prominent Black Americans and the magical disappearing act of his free IVF promise—because ghosting a constitutional right is so 2025.

Then, Def...

This week on The Final Word, we ask the question no one dared to utter aloud: Whatever happened to the charming racism? You know, the kind that wore a monocle and said “those people” with a genteel sneer instead of a bullhorn and a MAGA hat. Trump’s latest “naturally” racist musings have us wondering if subtlety is dead—or just deported.

Meanwhile, the Epstein saga continues to unravel like a badly written soap opera, and the Trump ...
