Today's show is cut into two halves, the serious and the fun. We start with updates on the US war with Iran, and Trump warring with the Pope. The working class may be rising up. The supreme court makes a ruling that stops a harmful practice from being banned, and an Ohio bill that if becoming law could be very harmful as well. We check in with the treasury and CDC before finally taking a big sigh. In science news, Artemis 2 has launched and returned, a new dinosaur is discovers, and new lifeforms are living on garbage in the ocean. Weird crime and local news wraps the show. Enjoy
