Rick Robinson, Amy Curtis, and the Bloviating Zeppelin close the week with election failures, political hypocrisy, artificial intelligence, and enough deep-fried Wisconsin food to make a cardiologist nervous.

The panel begins with Milwaukee’s latest election-administration problem and whether repeated failures involving voting equipment, ballots, and incorrect data exports warrant greater scrutiny. They then examine Luigi Mangione’s unexpected guilty plea, the federal charges against him, and the disturbing effort to transform an accused killer into a political martyr.

The conversation turns to the WNBA and the suddenly changing rules surrounding biological men in women’s sports. After years of insisting that self-identification was enough, activists are now demanding hormones, surgery, and other qualifications when men begin testing the ideology on its own terms. As Amy puts it, woke isn’t dead—it’s hibernating.

The crew also discusses the attempted political return of Graham Platner in Maine, the growing number of executive, ethics, and safety departures from OpenAI, concerns surrounding autonomous military systems, New York City’s second-home tax, and the inability of prominent commentators to remember that Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
The roundup concludes with Ro Khanna’s proposed “multiracial New Deal,” historical claims about Social Security, the changing Democratic Party, Ozempic culture, and another court ruling involving temporary protected status.

It’s politics, culture, technology, and Friday-night sarcasm—Weekend News Roundup style.
