Can't seem to do the news these days with Diddy headlining. So, this week we're talking about the new defense (that's as old as time) that the mogul's legal team is making in his ongoing case. It's a bit of a history lesson you won't want to miss. 

Eboni and Dustin also give their thoughts on A$AP Rocky's enormous courtroom win this week.

AND New York Governor Kathy Hochul's big decision when it comes to Mayor Eric Adams, his allegiances to the Trump administration and the ultimate good of New Yorkers.

Introducing First Look At Trump's Second Term from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Trump begins staffing top roles in his second administration with loyalists and sycophants—and demands that the senators running for majority leader agree to embrace a process that would allow him to appoint whoever he wants without Senate confirmation. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy discuss whether Trump's opening moves are as chilling as we thought they'd be, what we do and don't know about his second-term plans, and how he might pursue revenge on his opponents. Then, Tommy speaks with New York Congressman Pat Ryan, who hung on in a tough district, about the lessons the Democratic Party needs to learn in order to win.
