Back to School, Back to Politics

In this episode, we kick things off with some back-to-school reflections and a nostalgic look at how far technology has come—remember when AOL dial-up was the height of the internet? With AOL officially shutting it down, we explore the rapid changes we’ve lived through in our own lifetimes. From there, we turn to today’s political landscape: Trump meets with Putin in Alaska, sparking headlines and speculation. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom goes on the attack against Trump, fueling talk that he’s eyeing a presidential run. And to wrap it all up, we dive into Trump taking over the DC Metro Police with promises to clean up Washington, D.C.  Follow us on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok - check the shownotes below:
