It’s fisticuffs for the frisky sluts in Congress! This week, Markwayne brings the mark-pain while Ex-Speaker Kevin hits and runs. Tim Scott finds love and gives up on the White House. Donald Trump calls everyone reading this description “vermin,” and Lovett asks the most important question of all: where was Foghorn Leghorn on January 6?

What a Weekday: McCarthy throws hands and Scott drops out

Every Saturday, former Obama speechwriter and self-described "comedian" Jon Lovett is joined live on stage by a killer lineup of comics, journalists, politicians, and celebrities - who may or may not know why they're there - to break down the biggest and dumbest stories in politics and culture.

And now because there’s too much news for just one show, join Jon and friends (i.e. beloved producers who have to be there) every Tuesday for a rundown of the latest headlines to help get you through another flawless week in our perfect society.

Plus for those who like to watch (*wink*), you can catch all the funniest moments and gayest chaos on the Lovett or Leave It YouTube channel. So check us out there, and listen to Lovett or Leave It wherever you get your podcasts.

Trump’s Totally Impartial Jury

Donald Trump gets a courtroom visit from the Sandman. President Biden forgives (more student loans) while American voters forget (what the hell it was like living under Trump). And Grimes’s Coachella set has us desperately seeking  Skrillex. Please, save us, Skrillex. We beg of you.
