God & Gaslighting: The Charlie Kirk Fallout

A mouthpiece for racism, sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia met a violent death in Utah. A divided nation reacts. Also, the first excerpts from Kamala Harris’s upcoming “107 Days” depict Madam VP as unsupported, over-scrutinized, and a threat to The Oval.

Culture Battlegrounds: Coffee Dates, Cracker Barrel and the Body owned by Serena Williams

Former Cook County State's Attorney, Kim Foxx, who led prosecutions against R. Kelly, Jussie Smollett, Black Souls Gang (and more) answers our pressing legal questions about the Diddy trial: What exactly is RICO, and is the prosecution proving it? What is the Defense’s strategy going to be? Why exactly did the Prosecution put Jane on the stand, again? If convicted, how much of Diddy’s money is the government after? 

And our non-legal questions: why is Diddy so cheap? Why is Jane hugging people?! How many other Diddys are there? Why does everyone think distribution is only what they saw on Power?
