From Capitol gridlock to cartel strikes, Big Pharma deals to billion-dollar AI battles—this weekend is packed. Washington is still shut down, Trump is rolling out “TrumpRx” with Pfizer (and igniting a firestorm), the FDA’s abortion pill decision is shaking politics, and the president just declared the U.S. in an armed conflict with cartels. Meanwhile, NVIDIA’s chip diplomacy, OpenAI’s $500B leap, and Elon Musk’s march toward becoming the world’s first trillionaire reshape tech power. Add Taylor Swift’s Life of a Showgirl album drop and a full slate of football, and you’ve got the weekend watchlist you won’t want to miss.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
