Jamie and Brian are back in the studios for another news filled show! They start with the federal government pulling 700 immigration officers out of Minnesota after local officials agreed to increase cooperation by turning over arrested individuals to federal authorities.

They also discuss how republican lawmakers are moving to dismantle Governor Tony Evers’ creative "400-year" funding maneuver that locked in per-pupil spending increases until the year 2425. The GOP argues that this long-term commitment contributes to rising property taxes and have voted to terminate the annual revenue limit increase starting in 2027.

Georgia’s Fulton County officials have launched a federal court challenge to reclaim roughly 700 boxes of election records recently seized by the FBI. The raid, which included 2020 ballots and tabulator tapes, was part of a criminal probe overseen by a new election integrity unit appointed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. The Muppet Show has returned for a 50th-anniversary special that perfectly captures the chaotic variety-show magic of the original 1970s series.
