Rivera and Reeves return for 2026 with their first episode, tackling the biggest stories from their month-long hiatus. Meseidy and Rachel break down Trump’s foreign policy moves in Greenland, Venezuela, and Iran—explaining why it all connects back to China and Russia. They analyze the Minneapolis ICE shooting that killed activist Rebecca Good, cutting through the political spin from both sides. Plus: Tim Walz drops out of the governor race amid the Somali fraud scandal, and Elizabeth Warren wants Democrats to go further left. The hosts reunite in person to deliver their trademark unfiltered analysis on why the media keeps getting these stories wrong.
