Hi. In today's episode of Even More News Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about how miffed Trump is about not getting the Nobel Peace Prize, so miffed that he wants our allies to give him Greenland, or else. They also discuss how DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is "subtly" suggesting that people be prepared to show proof of citizenship to authorities on the street, and so much more.

Hi. On today's episode, Cody and Jonathan talk more about the murder of Renée Good by an ICE agent and the right's increasingly desperate attempts to justify it.

Hi. On today's episode, comedy writer Rachel Van Nes (IG: vannes.expressions) joins Katy, Cody, and Jonathan to discuss the murder of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis and the Trump administration's ludicrous attempts to justify it.

Hi. Katy, Cody, and Jonathan were hoping to talk about all the news that happened over the past two weeks, and then Saturday happened: the Trump administration kidnapped Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, then announced that we're going to be running the country and taking their oil. They discuss the many war crimes committed and the international implications of Trump's actions.

Hi. For the first Even More News of 2026, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan return to two weeks ago – since that's when they recorded this – to share their predictions for 2026. They discuss future Trump health coverups, Lauren Boebert's potential rap sheet, the midterms, and much more. Then they spend about 20 minutes trying to wrap their heads around Elon Musk's snoozeville appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast. Get the world's ...

Hi. Have you noticed a lot of conservatives can't seem to remember who was president in 2020? Almost as if they have memory-holed everything they don't like that happened under their guy?

Hi. On the last Even More News of 2025, Katy, Cody, and Jonathan talk about Trump's pointless televised address, his chief of staff's astoundingly honest interview with Vanity Fair, the expiring ACA subsidies, the end of Dan Bongino's tenure at the FBI, and emo bands.

As always, we recorded right before that big thing happened.

Hi. This weekend was marked by violence and tragedy across the globe, and Katy, Cody, and Jonathan do their best to unpack it all. They discuss the mass shooting at Brown University, the antisemitic attack in Bondi, Australia, and the murder of Rob and Michele Reiner, as well as the hate-filled responses to these events from Trump and various Republican senators.

Hi. It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. Katy, Cody, and Jonathan discuss the continuing Kilmar Ábrego García saga, the U.S. seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker, Paramount's attempted hostile takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, and Sean Duffy's insistence that you stop wearing pajamas to the airport.


We recorded this shortly before Kilmar Ábrego García was released from ICE custody.

Hi. Are we at war with Venezuela yet? Because from our vantage point (several weeks ago) it sure looks like the Trump administration wants to do a war. Let's look at those "drug boats," the administration's lack of any legal justification for attacking them, and why inflicting violence abroad is a harbinger of violence to come at home.
