Introducing Trump Slings More Garbage from What A Day.

Follow the show: What A Day

In the wake of former President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally Sunday, Major Puerto Rican stars with tens of millions of social media followers have been throwing their support behind Vice President Kamala Harris. On Wednesday, singer Nicky Jam, who endorsed Trump last month, renounced his support for the former president in a video to his supporters, citing the joke a comedian made at the rally about Puerto Rico being an ‘island of garbage.’ Adrian Carrasquillo, a national political reporter who writes about our increasingly Latino America, talks about the ongoing fallout from the MSG rally within the Puerto Rican community.

And in headlines: Billionaire Elon Musk says Trump’s economic plans will come with some ‘hardship,’ Republicans revive talk of repealing Obamacare, and the U.S. Supreme Court says Virginia can keep purging its voter rolls.

Look, we told y'all we would be ON IT covering some of the biggest cases and trials of the year. So, of course, we're back this week with some updates on the YSL/Young Thug trial - the longest criminal trial in Georgia history. Speaking of Georgia, we're bringing you another story of Black homeownership that almost didn't happen from the Peach State, and the persistence we need in order to get what we want and what we're due in the U.S. of A.

Introducing Rage at Madison Square Garden from Pod Save America.

Follow the show: Pod Save America

Donald Trump and Kamala Harris offer two very different closing messages as we enter the last week before the election: Harris hits the trail with Beyoncé and Michelle Obama and pitches her economic plan for Puerto Rico, while Trump and his cronies light up Madison Square Garden with more vitriol, racism, and hate than even we're used to. Jon, Lovett, and Tommy react to a packed weekend of campaigning and discuss how the Harris campaign is making the final sale. Then, Alyssa Mastromonaco talks with former Speaker Nancy Pelosi about what it's like being one of Trump's "enemies within," what's keeping her up at night, and what she's expecting on Election Day.

Eboni is flying solo on this episode to get a few things off her chest about a recent WSJ article. If we're going to talk about the upcoming election then we have to talk about identity. And if we're going to talk about identity, then we have to talk about Whiteness and its place in the minds of both those going to the polls and those seeking election. You don't want to miss this breakdown. For further reading, checkout Ta-Nehisi Coates' 2017 Atlantic article "The First White President".

Also, on this week's docket - NYC Mayor Eric Adams' recent indictment and what it's looking like for shamed mayor.

And we BACK! We're jumping back into Season 3 of Holding Court like we never left. Eboni and Dustin (and baby Liberty) are all gas, no breaks on this episode. We're starting with a follow-up on the Diddy trial and the living conditions Mr. Combs has been 'subjected to' in jail while he awaits trial. They also get into the saddening but not unpredicted results of affirmative action getting the axe. (It's a loss for more than just Black students.) And last but not least, Eboni breaks down the Young Thug RICO trial judge's decision to deny the motion for a mistrial and why there might be a ton of appeals on the heels of this extremely long trial.
