Baby, pull up a chair and hydrate, because this week we are running exclusively—exclusively—on Trump‑grade delusion, and that stuff is not FDA‑approved.

We kick things off with Trump jetting off to Davos to once again demand the keys to Greenland like it’s an Airbnb he forgot he didn’t book. And he says he won’t use force… even though he absolutely could… and if he did, it would work… but he won’t… mostly. We don’t know who needs to hear this, but if your sentence has that many escape hatches, you are not reassuring anyone.

Then global markets took one look at his threat to slap 10% tariffs on Denmark and seven other European countries—because they won’t co‑sign his Greenland fantasy—and said, “Oh absolutely not,” before swan‑diving straight into the red. Meanwhile China stepped up to the mic like, “Don’t worry world, we’re the grown‑ups here,” and the rest of the planet nodded like, “Honestly… at this point.”

Back home, federal prosecutors handed out grand jury subpoenas in Minnesota like they were Costco samples—Gov. Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and several other Democratic officials all pulled into the Justice Department’s investigation into the Trump administration’s immigration attack in the Twin Cities. And as if that weren’t enough chaos for one week, the DOJ also says it found evidence that members of DOGE accessed and shared Social Security data with a political group trying to overturn election results. Because apparently the coup never clocks out.

And finally—finally—we learn that 58% of Americans think the first year of Trump’s second term is a failure. And we’re just sitting here like… only 58? That’s not a poll, that’s a cry for help.

Join us as we break it all down with love, fury, and the kind of laughter you need to keep from screaming into a throw pillow. The country may be wobbling, but we’ve got the final word.

Oh honey, buckle up, because today we are deep‑breathing, side‑eyeing, and clutching every available pearl. We’re diving into a week where the global chaos meter broke clean off the wall, and we’re here trying to glue it back together with humor, outrage, and a prayer.

We start with Iran, where reports say thousands of people have been killed, blinded, or injured by the government under Ayatollah Khamenei. The courage of the Iranian people deserves more than thoughts and prayers — it deserves attention, action, and every ounce of compassion we can muster.

Then we slide over to Europe, where leaders are apparently trying to figure out how to respond after Trump’s Greenland threats. Yes, you heard us: Greenland. Again. And if that weren’t enough, he allegedly sent a text message to Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere that has folks across Europe looking at their phones like, “Is this real life or did someone spike the fjords.” The people of Greenland and our NATO allies deserve stability, not whatever… that was.

And because the chaos buffet is all‑you‑can‑eat, the Pentagon has put 1,500 soldiers on alert for possible deployment in Minnesota as ICE continues terrorizing communities in Minneapolis and across the country. We’re talking families afraid to leave their homes, neighborhoods on edge, and a government response that feels like pouring gasoline on a grease fire.

So join us as we laugh to keep from screaming, scream to keep from crying, and remind each other that caring is not optional. We’re bringing the energy, the truth, the jokes, and the love — because something ain’t right, and we’re gonna talk about it.

This week felt like the universe put all its headlines in a blender and hit purée. So naturally, we’re here with our mugs of lukewarm coffee, trying to make sense of it all before the next crisis drops.

We kick things off with the FBI searching a Washington Post reporter’s Virginia home—because apparently the First Amendment needed a little extra chaos this week. Nothing says “good morning” like federal agents on your porch.

Then we hop over to the U.S.–Denmark–Greenland triangle of awkwardness, where Denmark is still politely-but-firmly telling Washington, “You cannot have Greenland, please stop asking.” We love a diplomatic boundary.

Back home, 70% of voters say the U.S. should not take military action against Iran even if protesters are killed. Which means, for once, Americans agree on something, and it’s “let’s not start another war.” Growth.

Meanwhile, 51% of Americans think ICE is making cities less safe, which is… not the Yelp review ICE was hoping for. And a federal judge upheld California’s congressional map, gently patting Republicans on the head and saying, “No, this is not illegal racial gerrymandering, that's your hobby, please go sit down.”

Climate news? Oh, it’s toasty. 2025 was the third-warmest year on record, and the last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years. At this point, the planet is basically sending us increasingly desperate subtweets.

And finally, House Democrats moved to impeach Noem over what they’re calling the deadly ICE “Reign of Terror,” which is a phrase so dramatic and on point that it sounds like it should be shouted by a medieval town crier.

So buckle up. We’re laughing so we don’t cry, we’re caffeinated against our will, and we’re taking you through another week where the news refused to behave.
