I just want to warn you: this episode is a bit different. Instead of segmenting the news stories, I tie them all back to Donald Trump and the events at the White House last night. From protests to racial justice to white supremacy to abuses of power to the coronavirus crisis, the only constant is Donald Trump. I speak as a white guy from the Midwest to warn you not to underestimate what other people like me think about everything that's happening. I hope you'll stick around.

The daily headlines for today include 3 updates on COVID, setting the record straight on the situation in Kenosha, and the latest on the California wildfires. We also get crazy and go over Trump challenging Biden to a drug test, as well as Night 3 of the Land of Make Believe Republican National Convention.

Components of the coronavirus cocktail (though I'm no doctor and this isn't official medical advice): the antiviral drug remdesivir, a steroid (like dexmethasone) for inflammation, blood thinners, and plasma from recovered COVID patients.

Today, we talk about the Kenosha protest murders after an out-of-state white supremacist opens fire. I also try to make an analogy between seeing spiders as "the other" and how we act out violently against them. In addition, I go over CNN's fan fiction writing about Night 2 of the RNC, Hurricane Laura, and Facebook potentially losing more ad revenue.

Matt McDermott: "Folks: the RNC isn’t using Black speakers to engage Black voters. They’re using Black speakers to engage white people who want to vote Trump and not feel racist."

On today's episode, we cover the predictable craziness that was Night 1 of the Republican National Convention, including hype woman Kimberly Guilfoyle, glassy-eyed Donald Trump Jr., Nikki Haley ending racism in America, plus more falsehoods. I also give updates on Jacob Blake, the FDA Commissioner and the emergency use authorization of plasma for COVID, and finally, Louis DeJoy showing the absence of expertise in the Trump Administration.

Today, we lead with the shooting of Jacob Blake by police in my own state. We also cover updates on the Postal Service, the House's $25 billion bill for it, DeJoy's testimony, Trumpworld's desperation, and a mini review of the trailer for The Batman (2021).

In the week of the Democratic Convention, I'm sure you can guess what dominates the discussion. I cover almost every big moment, from Michelle Obama to Barack Obama to Kamala Harris to Joe Biden. Other stories include the poisoning of Alexey Navalny, the California wildfires, updates on the Postal Service, the Supreme Court, Iran, criminal referrals of Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner by a REPUBLICAN-LED Senate committee, and more!

To close out the week, I have a lot to say about Joe Biden's spectacular speech and the rest of the last night of the Democratic convention in our last segment, but first we’ll cover Steve Bannon being the latest of Trump’s inner circle to be criminally indicted, the poisoning of a Russian opposition leader, the California wildfires, and the postal service.

Sometimes you have to take a minute to soak in the history, and that’s what last night was with the nomination of Kamala Harris for Vice President. But when we get through that and the rest of night 3 of the Democratic convention, we’ll also talk about the economy, the Supreme Court, Trump trying to restore sanctions on Iran, and a judge denying yet another request by Trump to hide his taxes.

Photos of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama by CNN and the New York Times, respectively.

Today, we cover headlines like what worked and what didn't at Night 2 of the Democratic convention, the struggle for what the Democratic party should be, and the situation in Belarus. In addition, I cover Trump Jr. and Kushner, among other Trump associates, being referred for criminal charges by the Republican-led Senate Intel Committee.
