Corn Dogs, Comstock, and Trump's Human Printer

<p>Emily&#39;s coming at you from the future (well, Maine, in a fleece, with a fire going) and Kate is hot in Wisconsin. But first, a teaser: next weekend these two are podding on location together, dog and toddler included.</p><p>Then it&#39;s a speed round through the news.</p><p>Kate reports back from the Iowa State Fair, and makes the case that the least glamorous races on your ballot are often the ones you can actually swing.</p><p>Emily walks through what&#39;s happening with North Korea: what kind of country it actually is, why the U.S. runs military exercises with South Korea every year, and why Trump scaling them back while calling the North Korean dictator a &quot;bestie&quot; has people uneasy.</p><p>Plus: Trump&#39;s former personal lawyer is now the Attorney General, and why that job is supposed to work for <em>us</em>, not the president. What the Comstock Act is and how it could become a backdoor national abortion ban. Sen. Ossoff&#39;s viral roast. Karoline Leavitt heading for the exit. Nancy Mace&#39;s tattoos.</p><p>Also: the death of Hayden Panettiere, the Lindsay Clancy trial, and a conservative influencer claiming postpartum depression is really just selfishness. Spoiler, it isn&#39;t.</p><p>77? days to the midterms. Drink your water.</p><p><br></p>
