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.
Me...
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 an...
This week on The Final Word, we bring you a very special episode featuring New York Times bestselling author Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs—and trust us, you do not want to miss this conversation.
We dive deep into her groundbreaking first book, The Three Mothers: How the Mothers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and James Baldwin Shaped a Nation, and her instant bestseller, Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden From Us. This isn...
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 <...
In this very special edition of The Final Word, we are honored to introduce you to Tim Myers—musician, founder of OneRepublic and Palladium Records, and the man we believe will flip California’s 41st district and unseat a 33-year MAGA Republican incumbent.
Tim Meyers is bringing energy, compassion, intelligence, and real-world solutions to the issues that affect all of us—from affordable housing to economic opportunity to protecting...
Uno Madness, The War on Porn, and Trump’s ‘Remigration’—Chaos Is in Session
This 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 h...
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 ...
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 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...
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...
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-...
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. 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 help...
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 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? 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 b...
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 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.
Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary (and villain in an imaginary movie titled Puppies vs. Kristi Noem) straight-up refused to answer Repres...
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. 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.
Meanwhi...
