Trump Says Iran Can Bomb LA, Firing Squads Are Back, and So Is the Plague?!

What a week, folks. 😵‍💫 It looks like the plague is back but don’t worry– Marco Rubio says it’s fine. Saudi Arabia has taken back the Bab al-Mandeb strait from the Houthis (for now anyway), and Trump is goading Iran into bombing southern California. Pete Hegseth wants to return to execution by firing squad, and toxic bravado aside, is it actually less brutal than lethal injection? Seena and Travis dig into all of it, plus they check in on WTF JD Vance has been up to.
