  • First: We’ve got the headlines from the week’s news, including the mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ club in Colorado Springs, a rail strike that could dampen our holiday spirits, and a historic climate agreement.
  • Then: After technical difficulties shut down ticket sales to Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, Ticketmaster is under fire. We’ll skimm why Taylor Swift fans – and the Justice Department – have bad blood with the ticket selling platform…in 60 seconds. 
  • Finally: President Biden carried on the annual turkey pardon. Meet: Chocolate and Chip. 


    • Skimm This will be back in your feed next Thursday. Have a happy holiday weekend.
