What Happened. That's the title of Hillary Clinton's new book, which is big punch in the guts of a book that delivers everything we'd hoped. Amelia and Mia debrief on the most talked-about parts of the book, from what Bill said to her in the car after she lost, how she faced Trump on inauguration day and how she's been using yoga and wine as therapy. Plus, why did Trump invite Democrat leaders to his residence for Chinese food and what was the hidden message behind his unhinged Tweet storm early Sunday morning? Or is he just unhinged? Situation normal.

Trump is having a quiet week. Which is perfect for us, because we need a moment to talk about Jared and Ivanka ('Javanka'). The 'first daughter' and her husband were tremendously present during the campaign, and have remained so during Trump's first few months in office. But... to be honest, they're a bit of a laughing stock. What are their actual jobs? Do they have any responsibilities? And how much are they paid?

Hurricane Harvey came and went, sucking media attention away from Trump and his circus for the first time since he became President. Melania wore some shoes deemed inappropriate for disaster relief. Trump thanked a crowd of flood-stricken Texans for their love and support... of him. And while all that was happening, a wave was in motion to rescind Obama's DACA policy. Farewell to the dreamers. Wondering what DACA stands for? Who the dreamers are? And why Trump's Twitter feed is perplexingly...normal... right now? Sara James fills in for the sick Amelia Lester this week and dives deep with the ever-panicked Mia Freedman.

And, another one bites the dust. On Friday August 18th, Donald Trump ceremoniously fired his Chief of Strategy, Steve Bannon. If you're not familiar with Bannon, he was the former Head of Breitbart media, who Trump hired late in his Presidential campaign. Relieved of his White House duties, Bannon darted straight back to Breitbart and proceeded to badmouth Trump's presidency. So what does all this mean? Who's replacing Bannon? And is it going to be okay?

First came the threat of Nuclear War, now white supremacists are marching loudly and proudly in the streets of US city Charlottesville. A woman was murdered and people were carrying swastika flags. And yet it has taken President Donald Trump exactly two days to condemn these actions. So why were the supremacists wearing Make America Great Again hats? And why did it take Trump so long to address the issue?

Shit just got real.

Donald Trump is meant to be on vacation. Except it’s not really a vacation because he never does what people think.

In a press statement that was meant to be about something else entirely, Trump suddenly veered wildly off script and, well, practically threatened to nuke Kim Jong-un and North Korea. This is a country who, for years, has threatened to launch missiles or conduct nuclear tests. A country where many past Presidents have been able to assuage its dictators.

Only now, it's Donald Trump in the White House.

So we have a throw down.

Does this mean things are officially not OK?

First Sean Spicer left. Then Reince Priebus got fired. Then today, The Mooch was out the door. So what the heck is going on? Who is this new guy John Kelly? And why is Trump acting like he is still running The Apprentice? How did this happen in the space of 10 days? Amelia is back from her honeymoon to explain what is going down, and how The Mooch went so wrong, so quickly. Is it going to be okay this week? Lets find out…

Zoe Daniel is the ABC’s US Correspondent in Washington. She’s often in the press briefing room you see on TV - when the cameras are rolling - in the White House. She’s right there, in the front row of history - although not necessarily in a good way. So what’s it like covering Trump? What on earth did he say to a group of 15,000 boy scouts? And who exactly is The Mooch and should we be sad that Sean Spicer is gone? What will happen to Melissa McCarthy? Oh! And Jeff Sessions! What’s the story there...Mia asks a lot of questions, and Zoe delivers.

Exclusive: In a series of early morning tweets, President Donald Trump announced - seemingly out of nowhere - a new policy banning Transgender people from the US military. The only reason given being the military 'cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption' transgender people entail. Nice. So what does it mean? And what toll will it take on the 15,000 trans people currently serving in the US military? Cate McGregor was a Group Captain of the Australian Defence Force, and the highest ranking trans military officer in Australia. And she says she saw it coming.
